Come solo or with a friend. Swim side by side or do your own thing. Everyone moves in their own way, and that’s part of what makes it work.

KIT HIRE
I want everyone to feel the benefit of being outdoors and to be able to swim safely, whatever your experience or background. To make that possible, I offer essential kit hire through Wild in Scotland, so you can get into the water with confidence.
Tow Floats
You will also need a tow float. These help you stay visible to other water users and from the shore. I have a selection available for you to use.
All swimmers must use a tow float during sessions. It is one of the key bits of kit that supports a safe and enjoyable swim for everyone.

Wetsuits
Wetsuits are made from a material called neoprene, which helps to keep you warm while you swim. I have a small number available to hire in a range of sizes.
All swimmers are required to wear a wetsuit during sessions. This is to help keep you warm and safe in changing weather and water conditions.
