The FINDRA wild swimming edit

Wild swimming is a wonderful way to connect with nature and get your blood flowing. And it’s even better when you have cosy clothes to change into afterwards. Be prepared when you head out for your next dip, with an easy to pack and cosy selection of layers designed to warm you back up again.

A cosy base layer

The second you’ve dried off, you’re going to want to pull on a nice cosy base layer. The softer, the better. A high wicking fabric like Merino is a great idea, as it will help you deal with any residual moisture and clamminess. When you’ve been open water swimming, especially in places like Scotland where the water can stay cold even in summer, you need lots of layers to help you raise and regulate your core temperature as quickly as possible.

Warming accessories

Accessories are handy for adding warmth as soon as you get out of the water. Woolly socks and a hat can be pulled on quickly, while arm and neck warmers are great for adding extra heat once you’re dressed. Our hot water bottle covers with pockets are a nice way to warm your hands up post swim.
