1. Waterlog by Roger Deakin: Beautifully written account of swimming all over Britain. A joy to read even if you don’t like swimming!
2. Wild Swimming by Daniel Start: The definitive guide for where to find good swimming spots all over the U.K. Includes maps, photos and directions, as well as recommendations for good pubs nearby! I keep a copy in my car in case I fancy an adventure.
3. At the Pond by Various: A collection of stunning essays about Kenwood Ladies’ Pond. All evoke this magical place from different angles. Each one is only a few pages long so you can dip in out – excuse the pun
