You will be in the capable hands of our expert guides and coaches Gilly McArthur, Jonathan Cowie and Vicki McCreadie who will coach you into safe cold-water immersion and guide you at some of our beautiful wild-swimming spots.

Then, all you need to do, is take in the wonderful views without having your head stuck in a map!
