how to choose a safe swim spot (sea)

Join me this week as I discuss the factors which influence how I choose a safe swim spot on the coast. It was filmed at Hengistbury Head, Hurst Sopit and Calshot Beach.

I'm using an xclear hydrophobic protector on my gopro to repel water droplets. Get yours here:


Outdoor swimming is a fantastic activity to get involved in, but sometimes just getting started can be challenging - what to wear, where to go, who to do it with are all questions that my playlist “Get Involved with Outdoor Swimming” addresses


The Outdoor Swimming community is extremely diverse and welcoming and there are new friends waiting to meet you. Hope to see you in the water sometime soon. I'm on Instagram as @everydayathleterach Everyday Athlete Rach is my vlog about getting active in the great outdoors. I make videos about outdoor swimming, snowboarding which hopefully encourage other people to get involved.

I upload videos weekly on a Tuesday morning in the UK. Come along and join me on my adventures
