such as fishing and sailing, are high risk.
The advice I give to beginners is to know your limits and build up experience slowly. Water can be very cold. Though cold water doesn't kill you, it'll make you much less buoyant. So swim 10% of the distance you can do until you have adapted to it. Above all, stay close to the bank or shore. Cold water can cause shocks, so enter slowly and be careful to jump into deep water.
Nowadays, we're losing basic outdoor skills and common sense. Half of children over seven can't swim a length of a pool, and fewer haven't swum outdoors. So I don't believe that fencing up wild swimming locations will improve safety.Instead,
I want to see more inland swimming places,
such as on the continent, where almost every reservoir has its beaches, most without lifeguards, as people are trusted to be able to look after themselves. I'd like to see schools include outdoor swimming in their PE lessons, families going wild swimming together, and more water companies following the example of Rutland Water and creating seasonal swimming beaches.
We need to change our attitude to inland waters and encourage children to go outdoors, swim in nature, and build a love of wild places that will serve them all their life.
