Badbryggor A collection of places I, unfortunately and probably for quite poor reasons, didn't swim while visiting Sweden this year.

Horse Float Sauna We'd get impatient and sit in there like frogs in a pot as it heated up. Gently stoking the fire while eating pizza and drinking beer. Waiting, waiting.

I wrote a little post about sauna: wildlyswim.com/bastu-sa/

Maslin's Beach Media reports at the time of the proclamation indicate that the beach had a long history of use as an unofficial nude beach, but that those who did so were breaking the law.

Beachless Summer I hope this will be enough to be a wake-up call for the climate-change sceptics, and a call for the non-sceptics to double-down on efforts to do something.

A new post. Not as much fun as I would like. This one is about the algal bloom affecting the coast of South Australia.

Cassowary Falls Try to get in under the falls to experience one of those grounding and earth-connecting things: massage by falling water. Float around and bask in the glory of it all.

Hartley's Creek and Flat Rock There weren't many other people there - only two small groups - and it felt pretty secluded and like you were part of a small secret club.

I'm on winter holidays right now in far north Queensland, and the waterfalls and swimming holes here are next level.

Nixie (folklore) - Wikipedia

I grew up with Näcken luring people into the water.

I went back here after what I thought were some decent rains, and still nothing. I suspect this bit of creek only flows very occasionally.

That looks delightful!

Mason's Swimming Hole It's a very short walk from the cafe to the swimming hole. Past the blue tin asking for donations to swim in the swimming hole (you can also pay by card in the cafe or shop) on the little bridge over ...

From tropical Far North Queensland, we have a new blog post. This is Mason's Swimming Hole in the Daintree Rainforest.

Winter Solstice It's usually a dreary affair, the shortest day of the year. Waterproof jackets, scarves, and beanies coordinated with matching rain, wind, and cold. In 2022 the part of Adelaide I was in achieved a ma...

It's been a while between posts, but here is a little writeup and a photo from a recent dip in the Quarry for the Winter Solstice.

Gorgeous regardless!

This is amazing. Where did you take it?

Lake Bohinj The Slovenian tourist office likes to use a few strategically placed capital letters to emphasis the LOVE in Slovenia. After a visit to Lake Bohinj, it is easy see why.

We've headed to Slovenia in today's blog post! Fergus G has written a lovely piece about Lake Bohinj.

Currency Creek If it ever rains.

It's so dry in South Australia. We're nearly 80% under our average rainfall at this time of year.

Which does give me the opportunity to look for possible swimming spots before they're swimming spots.

This looks magnificent!

There are a dozen live posts about various swimming spots, so head on over and read the back-catalogue while you wait for Göteborg to become live. :)

Wildly Swim Thoughts and stories about swimming.

I've scheduled a post to go live over on wildlyswim.com on Tuesday morning (central Australian time). This one will be about swimming around the archipelago off the coast of Göteborg in #Sweden, and a bit about one of the islands.

Great White sharks have been spotted off Port Willunga recently, and a juvenile Great White has washed up on the beach in the last few days. Yikes.

Port Willunga When the wind blows just right, however, surfing becomes possible as the waves stand tall and break over the reefs that extend from Lions Head point.

New post: Port Willunga, South Australia. A magnificently beautiful beach.

Definite after-swim faces! Lovely!

Walking back from today's #wildswim.

Definitely, but probably not as warm as you think in the water. It's basically Southern Ocean with currents coming up from Antarctica here.

The air, on the other hand - significantly warmer!

I'll have to go back.

I reckon I travelled through Fishguard heading from Ireland too London. Far too quickly. I wish I'd stopped along the way more.
