Upper Tweed River Pool Swim

Come for a small group swim in one of the pools of the Upper River Tweed. We will dip in the river somewhere between Stobo and Drumelzier, exact location to be be advised closer to the time depending on conditions.

If you've never swum in a river before or would like to try a new spot come and join me for a relaxed social morning in the beautiful Tweed Valley. You'll learn how to read a river so you know where it is safe to swim.

After we'll share a snack and a wild foraged kelly kettle tea.

If river levels are too high for a safe swim another location will be offered.

Previous experience of wild swimming is required and you must be comfortable to walk over uneven ground and step down a bank.

Personal swim kit, with plenty of warm layers for afterwards packed into a rucksac for easy carrying.

Suitable footwear for walking on uneven terrain.

Water shoes are essential.

Bring a tow float if you have one or you can borrow one.

A snack to share.

We will walk a short distance, less than half a mile, to our river pool where we will swim in the river together. After there will be time for a wild foraged Kelly kettle tea and shared snack.
