Holm Swim - 24.07.2025

Gary and myself decided to meet up in the evening for a swim at Holm. Getting in on the sandy side (Chubag) and hogging the coastline on the way out then taking the inside of Eilean nan Uan as we agreed it was too choppy today to take the outside (Minch side) of it. A wee bit of shelter gave us a short time of relatively calm seas before we carried on swimming between Eilean nan Caorach and Mol Shildinis, heading towards the Gob Shildinis pier where some lads were just finishing up fishing (they gave us a shout out). It was pretty cool swimming under the pier, even with the gulls flying close overhead as we carried on around to the jetty on the Holm village side. It was good to be doing some directional swimming again in the choppy conditions while also trying to avoid the jellyfish but thankfully the water clarity is amazing 😊
