Welcome to Wild Wimmin the Wild Swimming Podcast - I'm Laura Macdonald. 

Today I am here to fill your ears with all the hints and tips you could possibly need about wetsuits! Yes, clear out the kit bags, it's a neoprene fiesta! Where does it come from? Is it a total planet killer? Why does it tear so easily? How should we look after it, dry it and repair it? how should it actually fit? All your kit questions were answered by the wetsuit repair expert Gary Chambers from Bodyline wetsuits in Newquay. 

Yes one for the wetsuited, gloved and booted amongst us - which at this time of year is pretty much everyone.

Hello, and welcome to Wild Wimmin the Wild Swimming Podcast, I’m Laura Macdonald. 

I’ve got a bit of a different episode for you today: two interviews both about the work of the Ilkley Clean River Group.  For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, Ilkley is a delightful little Spa town in West Yorkshire in the North of England, and running through Ilkley is the River Wharfe, which runs for 65 miles from its source in the Yorkshire Dales National Park until it joins the river Ouse.

First off today I’m speaking to Karen Shakleton who founded the Ilkley Clean River Group, after witnessing a Combined sewerage outflow in action. I also recorded a chat with swimmer, town councillor and all round excellent fellow Owen Wells about his life as an outdoor swimmer, his relationship to the river and the really shitty problems that bathers are encountering with river pollution.

Links:
Ilkley Clean River Group website, Facebook and Instagram.  There is a 'how to' section if you are interested in starting your own campaign.

SurfersAgainstSewage are doing a huge amount of work in this area and their website has a lot of excellent resources as well as links to campaigns with which you can get involved.

Hello, and welcome to Wild Wimmin the Wild Swimming Podcast, I’m Laura Macdonald. 

Today I am chatting about access rights to waterways in England with the utterly lovely Chantelle Grundy.   She's an Access & Environment Officer with British Canoeing and very generously agreed to talk Wild Wimmin about the work that she does to bring clarity to the laws on our rights to access the waterways in England through the Clear Access Clear waters campaign.   We chatted about how she got started in the water,  the vagaries of the law, and why it’s so important to put your swim stories and good works on social media.

Hello, and welcome to Wild Wimmin the Wild Swimming Podcast,   I’m Laura Macdonald.

Owen Wells is a swimmer, Green town councillor and all round excellent fellow and we chatted back in April about his life as an outdoor swimmer and the achievements that he gained in later life. During Lockdown Owen has been swimming in the River Wharfe upstream of Ilkley and so we chatted about his relationship to the river and the really sh**ty problems that bathers, anglers and others who enjoy the river, are encountering with river pollution

I spoke to Owen Wells originally for the episode about the Ilkley Clean River Group and If you want to hear more about their work and the problems with river pollution in the UK then please go back and listen to that episode in full once you're done here.

Hello and welcome to Wild Wimmin the wild swimming podcast - I’m Laura Macdonald

Paralympic gold medal winner(!) Melanie Barratt is a fairly recent convert to swimming outdoors.  Because of her visual impairment (she’s registered blind) she originally thought that swimming in the great outdoors might not be for her, but a friend encouraged her to give it a go and she hasn’t stopped since. She talked me through her first few swim events and the adaptations that she has found to help keep her safe and competitive in the open water. 

We chat all things Ego Corner, accessibility, kayaking husbands and why it’s sometimes you just have to follow the green lady.

Since taking up sea swimming though she has built up a community swimming group of fellow NHS workers, which has become a vital support system for all the swimmers.  We got ourselves a snug weezoom room back in October to discuss all things frontline working, big drum bangers, chub rub and the responsibility that comes from being the mama mermaid.
