Welcome to the Swim Wild Podcast.

This week's guest is Mark.

Our conversation is an unapologetic celebration of what we love about wild swimming.

Mark is a new convert, and was hooked from the first swim.

What I love about this episode is the pure joy, the excitement of swimming outdoors, the addiction to cold water, the appreciation of the newly acquired swim family.

You can read Mark's blogs about the Diabetes 22 mile challenge here, here and here.
