A nice book, strangely organized though. - By: Christiane Mitchell, 28 Dec 2008 
This is a really nice book for a read or browse at home. The swimming sites aren't listed geographically though, so if you're planning a holiday,in Cornwall say, you have be constantly flicking around the book to find relevant listings. This means you almost need to make notes to make use of it. Otherwise very interesting.
Inspirational, great swims & great images - By: B. Alborough, 24 Aug 2008 
Better than the other book with a similar name by 10 stars... at least. Great swims, great pictures, excellent!
A great book - By: Y. Lev, 18 Jul 2008 Having read all the previous reviews there is little left for me to add. This is a marvellous achievement & a great contribution towards making open water swimming acceptedin the UK as, indeed it is everywhere elsein the world. Congratulations to Kate for flowing (sorry..) text & to Dominick for some stunning photography
Attractive and useful, but more info would help - By: NickG, 16 Jul 2008 This is a gorgeous, well-written & well-presented book. The author's genuine emotional involvementin outdoor swimming is evident & infectious and, knowing some of the places she describes, I'm with her.
I have two gripes which cost the book a star: some fantastic sites are missing, & some gazetteer information (like maps) would be helpful. Don't let that put you off - it's a fine book anyway.
If you do want more, Wild Swimming (Wild Swimming: 150 Hidden Dipsin the Rivers, Lakes & Waterfalls of Britain) is a good companion. It's more of a simple guide, but touches on some places that 'Wild Swim' doesn't & has more navigation info
Very good, needs more info though - By: Margo Brown, 16 Jul 2008 Very good, but "arty" For us non-natives, more maps & landmarks would be helpful. Nice photos! Driving instructions, opening times, & other resources (bathing house, tea rooms) would have made this book perfect. I did enjoy the Malham Tarn swim, but had trouble finding the place.
