As you might expect, now that it has a name, this “trend” has been growing more popular by the day—and for good reason. Here are 5 reasons you should get involved in wild swimming.

Great Exercise

Swimming is one of the greatest forms of exercise you can do. Whether you’re young or old, an experienced swimmer or a newbie, wild swimming will effectively build your muscles, improve fitness, and strengthen your immune system.

Connect With Nature

Swimming in ponds, lakes, rivers, and the sea really gives you a sense of oneness with nature. It’ll give you a nice reminder that you’re part of the natural world, and that you share it with animals, plants, and the landscape as a whole.

Improves Mental Health

This feeling of oneness with nature, mixed with the endorphins of swimming, can have a wonderful effect on your mental health. It’s a great place to relax and to feel your stress dissipate into the surrounding atmosphere.

Resets Your Body And Mind

Many wild water swimmers report feeling that their bodies and minds have been reset, as though they have been reborn. This can help you achieve a fresh start and reignite your passion for life.

Good Social Life

Wild swimming is often a very social activity. It is invaluable if you want to meet new people, especially those who hang out in more relaxing environments.

]]> Swimming is one of the best physical activities for improving fitness and increasing muscle strength. Combine this with being in the great outdoors and you have the ultimate recipe for enhancing your physical and mental wellbeing.  

Here are some of the core benefits to expect if you take the plunge.   

Cold water boosts blood circulation

When you immerse yourself in the cold water of a lake or river, rich blood flows away from the skin’s surface and towards the internal organs as a means of conserving body heat. This boosts the white blood cell count, flushes out waste and feeds the brain and vital organs with crucial nutrients. People describe this experience as feeling reborn.

Reduces stress hormones 

Not only does wild swimming have all the stress-relieving benefits of regular cardio workouts, but the cold water also has the additional effect of reducing cortisol in your body.  

Mindfulness 

Immersing yourself in nature can have a positive effect on mental health. The act of swimming helps you regulate your breathing and concentrate on the rhythms of your body.

Für uns haben heute die #sommerferien gestartet und ich freue mich auf 6 wundervolle Wochen mit meinen beiden Jungs. Pünktlich zum Beginn der Ferien ist es bei uns im #schwarzwald auch gut warm, so dass die Jungs heute schwimmen wollten. Das Freibad war ausgebucht, aber wirklich schlimm ist das nicht. Der Schwarzwald hat ja genug schöne Ecken, wo man sich abkühlen kann. Und noch ein Vorteil dort ist es leerer und leiser als im Schwimmbad. Ich finde mir ein wenig Phantasie sieht es fast ein wenig aus wie im Dschungel #schwarzwaldoderdschungel Die ersten 3 Wochen der Ferien werden wir auch hier daheim bleiben und unseren schönen Schwarzwald noch intensiver erkunden. Wer also noch Schwarzwald Geheimtipps hat gerne her damit. Und für alle wo heute die Ferien gestartet sind oder noch sind wünsche ich euch eine wundervolle Zeit #schönesommerferien Die Kids wollte ich übrigens nicht beim Baden zeigen, daher müsst ihr mit mir Vorlieb nehmen🙈 #naturepool #naturepooladventure #wildschwimmen #wildswimming #blackforest #schwarzwaldliebe #wanderlust #abkühlung #collectmomentsnotthings #unseralltagistihrekindheit #lebenmitkindern #travelkids #heimatsommer @hochschwarzwald @visitblackforest #zuhauseistauchschön #deutschlanderleben

Better bone health 

Strangely enough, wild water swimming has been shown to reduce bone resorption and promote bone formation. 

Boosts endorphins 

Endorphins are the chemicals that make you feel good. Wild swimming gives you a double dose by getting your body moving and by immersing you in the great outdoors.
