- Inspirational, great swims & great images
Better than the other book with a similar name by 10 stars... at least. Great swims, great pictures, excellent!
Rating: - A great book
Having read all the previous reviews there is little left for me to add. This is a marvellous achievement and a great contribution towards making open water swimming accepted in the UK as, indeed it is everywhere else in the world. Congratulations to Kate for flowing (sorry..) text and to Dominick for some stunning photography

- Attractive and useful, but more info would help
This is a gorgeous, well-written and well-presented book. The author's genuine emotional involvement in outdoor swimming is evident and infectious and, knowing some of the places she describes, I'm with her.
I have two gripes which cost the book a star: some fantastic sites are missing, and some gazetteer information (like maps) would be helpful. Don't let that put you off - it's a fine book anyway.
If you do want more, Wild Swimming (Wild Swimming: 150 Hidden Dips in the ... Read More
Rating: - Very good, needs more info though
Very good, but "arty" For us non-natives, more maps and landmarks would be helpful. Nice photos! Driving instructions, opening times, and other resources (bathing house, tea rooms) would have made this book perfect. I did enjoy the Malham Tarn swim, but had trouble finding the place.
Rating: - lyrical genius
Kate Rew is quite simply a lyrical genius - a unique voice - on every page of Wild Swim you can smell, taste and feel the water and the elements she describes ... it's magical, poetic and funny at the same time.
