What a lovely day for a trip to Harris to take Carol, Pippa and Helen out for an intro to open water swimming at Horgabost beach. You all did really well! Was a fun session. Duckman was saying 14.1 degrees average. Hope to meet up again with you soon...

Hi coming to outer Hebrides Harris and Lewis sep 2-7th flung some private touring but would love to swim (am year round swimmer (dipper ) from south coast) - would be really grateful for good beach recommendations for dipping in September thank you. Also just curious of the temperature too to see if I need my boots/gloves thank you 😊

Hi Annabel. Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm also one of the admins on the Hebridean Sea Swimmers group on Facebook. We're working on a wild swim map. Here's the link for it:

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I've been a swimmer all my life and over the last several years I've done many challenging open water swims for charity all around our Islands which include the Sound of Barra & the Sound of Harris and both the Little & the Big Minch Channels to name a few.

Having a real passion for open water swimming, I spend a lot of my spare time looking for and discovering amazing new swim spots around the Islands.

I set up The Hebridean Sea Swimmers group in 2011 for all swimmers that live in or visit The Hebrides and it now has over 1000 members. I regularly meet up with visiting swimmers as I love to freely show off our Islands stunning swim locations.

Swim Camping is my new adventure and having such an amazing playground on my doorstep is fantastic, double bagging my kit into the Lomo waterproof rucksack and swimming to an island for an overnight stay or longer is just the best.

Feel free to get in touch via the contact forms at the top of the page.
