wild water

With over four decades of experience, The Guardian listed Angela as one of the UK’s best outdoor adventurers and wild swimming specialists. She can take you on an adventure: maybe it’ll be an introduction to wild swimming, sometimes at night or through the ice, or simply a fun family swim session, or perhaps kayaking and paddle boarding – she finds adventure wherever she goes. She incorporates the health and well-being benefits, acclimatization, and breath control and teaches you to “read” the water. We are well placed for wild water here; Angela knows all the perfect hidden-away spots. They call her the swimming detective, and she has received numerous awards for her environmental work and is often in the media, having recently spoken at Westminster, bringing awareness to the importance of protecting our rivers and their ecosystems. With an intimate understanding and knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Wye and Usk, she has been recording the changes to the river’s environment for the last 40 years.

Angela offers open group sessions at Old Lands (see her calendar below), or she can do family or individual sessions suited to your needs. Kayaking and paddle boarding is for 4-year-olds and upwards, while swimming is for children from 3 years old. All the necessary equipment and insurance required is provided. Ever mindful of her environment, Angela’s kayaks are made with recycled plastic bottles. She is a stickler for not cross-contaminating water sources, so she provides wetsuits and equipment.

Swimming is only allowed when accompanied by Angela, we are not insured for swimming without herBooking well in advance is important to guarantee a sessionalthough Angela lives locally and can often do sessions at last minute.
