It\u2019s a great way to unwind and get back to nature, so it\u2019s no wonder that it has become very popular over the last few years. But what wild swimming gear do you actually need?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What are the benefits of wild swimming?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many benefits to wild swimming, both physically and mentally! It can decrease stress levels and clear your mind, all while listening to the sweet sound of nature around you. Wild swimming can also do wonders for your immune system as the cold water can increase your white blood cell count. As well as being a relaxing activity, it can also be very social. There are many wild swimming groups and clubs across the country that you can join, making new friends in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><u>Swimsuit or wetsuit?<\/u><\/h2>\n<p>The biggest choice to make when going wild swimming (apart from which natural beauty spot to head to!) is whether to pick a swimsuit or a wetsuit. As we are in the UK, many people find swimming in the wild quite cold, even in the summer months. This means you may be more comfortable in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainwarehouse.com\/swimwear-beachwear\/wetsuits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wetsuit<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to stay in the water for longer but some people may find their movement slightly restricted.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose a women\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainwarehouse.com\/swimwear-beachwear\/swimsuits\/womens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swimsuit<\/a>, we\u2019d recommend one with thicker straps to ensure everything stays in place for your swim. Tie back bikinis may look great poolside in Spain, but you don\u2019t want to be worrying about any clothing falling off as you float downstream.
