STAR LETTER Found at Sea short film
Many thanks for your excellent magazine – I’ve been enjoying it for many months now and its been a source of inspiration! I started swimming on my own in the sea almost two years ago now. I’ve lived in Cornwall by the sea my whole life and always swum in the summer months, but never through the year. I used to look at what I called ‘swimming grannies’ who I was in awe of, thinking ‘one day, I’ll be able to do that’! In the summer of 2018 I started swimming very early in the mornings and something just clicked for me. I swam on my own in the mornings all the way through that winter with no real plans, except ‘I’ll keep going as long as I’m enjoying it and having fun’ – and I haven’t stopped yet! I was so grateful to your magazine through that first winter, as it helped me to see I wasn’t really on my own – there were loads of other wild swimmers out there too.
