Have you ever taken a dip in a river? Do you long to swim in the sea but don't know if you could handle the cold water? Or do you love wild swimming, in rivers, lakes, locks or outdoor pools? Either way, this episode is for you.

Leilia Dore is a writer who loves to swim in cold water, she brings her two loves together on her Instagram account, @swimmingthroughtheseasons, where she documents a year of 100 swims.

We talk all things wild swimming, from the mental health benefits of swimming outdoors, to body image and the community it brings. This conversation has reignited my love of wild swimming and of dipping into cold water, I hope it does the same for you too.

Please note: We speak of depression and thoughts of suicide in this episode.
