Upper Tweed River Pool Swim
Come for a small group swim in one of the pools of the Upper River Tweed.
If you've never swum in a river before or would like to try a new spot come and join me for a relaxed social morning in the beautiful Tweed Valley. You'll learn how to read a river so you know where it is safe to swim.
After we'll share a snack and a wild foraged kelly kettle tea.
We will dip in the river somewhere between Stobo and Drumelzier, exact location to be be advised closer to the time depending on conditions, each trip will be in a different location. If river levels are too high for a safe swim another location will be offered.
After meeting and introducing ourselves we will walk a short distance, less than half a mile, to our river pool. Enroute we will start learning how to read a river and what it is doing, helping us make good swimming decisions. At the river pool we will discuss how to assess the safety of the location and then be guided into the water to play with the flow if you wish and enjoy the magic of the place together. After there will be time for a wild foraged kelly kettle tea and shared snack.
