Catching Breath | The Healing Power of Cold Water Swimming

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Scotland has witnessed a spectacular rise in those participating in cold water swimming.

In a country that enjoys thousands miles of dramatic coastline, an abundance of beautiful lochs, waterfalls and rivers, folk up and down the country have bravely put their toes (and more) into Scotland's chilly waters.

Yet, despite the freezing temperatures, people feel energised, invigorated and ready to take on anything once they've taken the plunge.

This short film captures the spirit of what it means to cold water swim in Scotland.
