Keep Calm and Carry on Swimming this New Year!

Make your 2026 the best year for YOU. 

We're approaching the end of the year and the societal norms of having everything figured out and an epic New Year, New You plan in place is looming.

I think it's so important to tune out all of that noise... especially at this time of year when we are all expected to go into our cocoon on New Year's and emerge as a wonderful new creature with our life scripted out a few days later...

To that I say no 🖕

You do you.

If you want to improve your life in whatever way you feel you need to - GO DO IT 💕 there's nothing better than looking back on what you have achieved.

BUT don't feel pressure from society to bend to a norm just because it's January. Nobody needs that.

Just do what makes you happy, live life to the full in whatever way makes your soul sing and fall in love with your everyday... No matter what that looks like 💙

For me it's wild swimming and getting out on adventures at every possible opportunity but it's a wonderfully chaotic - definitely not perfectly manicured plan - just going with the flow...

There's something so magical about the cold water embracing your body as you enter your local river, lake or ocean. There are numerous benefits to wild swimming but as someone who is utterly addicted, I can say that all of those are eclipsed by the insane feeling of triumph and soul satisfaction that will follow you around for hours after your dip. 

If you want to start wild swimming in 2026, check out my other blog posts or see my top tips on TikTok  - I'd love to hear yours too!
