Open-air swimming has been part of poet Kate Fox’s life since school days. Lulled by the soft water at Helmsley Open Air pool she can allow her imagination to dive deep.

Kate’s poem “The Sea Swimmers” is taken from her new collection, The Oscillations. (Nine Arches Press).

This podcast was recorded under lockdown conditions with each podcaster remembering the sounds, sensations and feelings of their special place.
