Deep - A short film about wild swimming

How can wild swimming improve and maintain your mental fitness. 'DEEP' follows three members of the Military community as they document why they use this form of exercise to improve mental health and optimise wellbeing.

Michael Coates, Des Fraser and Nathan Jones from the Declassified Network swim in 13 different locations in 24 hours. These included the Thames, Bedfont Lakes (The Haven), Clevedon marine lake, Durdle door, Lulworth cove, Dancing ledge and Shepperton open water swimming lake. We also welcomed singer, musician and friend JP Cooper onto the trip.

Why is wild and open water swimming so good for wellbeing and what makes it the perfect tool to build our mental fitness? Find out here.
