Frequently Asked Questions the Wild Swimming
Who and how many can do the wild swimming?
We offer outdoor swimming to all ages and abilities.
We take a maximum of 5 people for a mixed session.
What do I need to bring?
We’ll provide you with the most important things: Winter weight wetsuit and swimming cap.
You would need to bring:
- Swimming costume, to wear under the wetsuit. Gents, baggy shorts are not good under a suit, but trunks or even underwear are fine for this.
- Thin shoes, the emphasis here is on thin. We need shoes to protect our feet on the beach and any walking we do – skinny shoes like school pumps are ideal, or a wetsuit boot. It’s optional to wear socks.
- Towel, to get changed at the end. Depending on where we go this might be open air changing so a big towel is best.
- Some spare clothes to change into at the end of the day (underwear, socks etc.)
- That’s it! You need minimal stuff. If you do have any medication that you usually carry, make sure you bring that too, we can look after it for you at the beach.

Our introduction to open water swimming are 2 hour sessions which are a great gateway into outdoor swimming. Our instructors will give you the knowledge and skills to explore and swim safely.

Where do you go wild swimming?
We have so many coves and stunning beaches in Anglesey that are perfect for wild swimming. The location on the day will depend on the length of the session, the tides, weather and abilities of the group. We can go as far as Llandwyn Island or Bull Bay but often you can’t beat our local beach at Porth Dafarch or Trearddur Bay for a great session.
When do you go wild swimming?
We can do it all year round, but May through to September tend to have warmer air temperatures and better weather so that’s the prime time. We are lucky to be in a mild climate so in October the sea is at its warmest, and we can experience some great conditions.
Is it safe?
Safety is of paramount importance – we value and maintain the highest professional standards. Outdoor swimming is all about having fun, swimming safely, with great company, in amazing locations all year round.
Our philosophy is enjoy the trip, don’t endure it – we like to make outdoor swimming comfortable and accessible.
