"Can some explain what wild swimming is, I thought swimming is swimming you either swimming indoors or outdoors, where does the wild come into the swimming?"

'Wild swimming is, to all intents and purposes, going swimming outside in a natural pool of water. That pool might be at a bend in a river, or it might be the sea. The important thing is that there are no man-made structures. You decide if you want salt water or fresh water.' Sourced from good old Google.

OP - Rosebush Quarry in Pembrokeshire is a lovely wild swimming place. Probably not best for skinny dipping though.

Who started calling it wild swimming someone on one of these social media sites? I've been swimming in lakes rivers and sea since I was a kid and only recently heard it called this

If I was on the beach with my kid's and decided to go for a swim I wouldn't go let's go wild swimming kid's, it just swimming nothing wild about it,people call it that now to make it sound cool that's my thoughts anyway

Search for "Taffy Dippers" on FB, they're pretty active around South Wales.

Still a bit too nippy for me, give it a few months when it's warmed up
