HEBSEASWIMMER - A HEBRIDEAN SWIM ADVENTURER

Westside arch - 30.10.2021

Fantastic outing on the westside of Lewis with Catherine this afternoon with a wee coastal walk over to the bay for a swim though we deemed it too dangerous to try for a swim through the arch itself. Still, it was great to just get in the sea and take in the surroundings. Well worth the effort.

Fantastic morning swim with Iseabal, Kirsten and Kim at Garrabost. Iseabal dud some snorkeling whilst Kim, Kirsten and myself went for a swim through the arch. A few seals popped up to say hello, which made someone go mach3 back to the slip. Cracking rainbow caught on camera too. Its a smashing place for an adventure swim. Duckman was saying 12 degrees average.

A shiver in the river - 24.10.2021

9 of us swimming at the river creed this morning. Great for trying to swim against the flow of the river and also going with the flow. Sun, sea, seal, rainbow, waterfall, fresh water, odd looks from passers-by, am sure there's more that I've missed. Duckman was saying 11 degrees in the sea. Forgot to check the river temp.

Good fun playing in the flow of the river creed this morning with Ed, Stuart, Kim, Catherine and Seumas. Got as far up the river as safely possible then launched into the current and off we went, lol. Great laugh. Duckman was saying 11.5 degrees average.

Fantastic swim at the braighe this afternoon with Anne, Catherine and Seumas. Bit murky for seeing underwater but always get mesmerised by the air bubbles when passing them by on the wee reef. Duckman was saying 12.5 degrees average.

Had a grand swim at the creed this morning with Jo, Catherine and Kim. The river part was like an endless pool trying to swim against the current. Made it back to the car's before the weather turned. Duckman was saying between 9 and 10.5 degrees.

    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.

    SwimCamping and SwimHiking are my new adventures 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.​
