  • There's a book called 'Wild Swimming' which may help you, they also have a website. There are alos numerous websites dedicated to such things - just google something like 'swimming in lakes'

    Exactly what I want to know... I'm thinking Loch Lomond?! I tried Wild swimming website and a few others recently but couldnt find a great deal on them.



    Are you doing Ayr O/W Sprint?
  • Central belt?...What about the one the strathclyde tri is in, Glasgow?

    Yes I am as live 15miles from it. This is the one that I'm using as a tester before London.



    You live close by?

    The strathclyde area in particular but that event is a bridge to far for me. Not yet anyway.
