Cold water swimming communities are thriving up and down the coastlines of the UK.
When the opportunity arose for us to create a collaborative film with Julia Wingate, an award winning open water swimmer, we aimed to change the way we approached documentary. Instead experiencing the cold waters of Devon alongside her, as she guided us through her form of meditation. Represents the community of open water swimmers across the country.
“Once you’re outside, whether it’s in a river or the sea. You can’t be stressed. Eventually all the little worries and stresses just fade away and you’re left to think about the water”
