1 . Here are some of the best UK swimming spots.

RIVER THAMES

The River Thames might inspire images of muddy, polluted waters snaking through the capital that you wouldn’t even think of dipping your toe into, let alone your head. But the famous waterway has more scenic settings along its route before it reaches the BigSmoke. Within easy reach of London, this section is unspoilt and a lot cleaner.

BUDE SEA POOL

This beautiful, part natural, part man-made tidal swimming pool is set in scenic natural surroundings. Constructed in 1930, it has provided safe bathing in Bude for almost 90 years. The pool is filled up by the sea at high tide each day. But be careful when entering as it’s part natural, it’s hard to give an exact depth, particularly as the environment changes with the tide.

LAKE MORLICH

This lake is surrounded by impressive views. You might have to stay away from a few windsurfers, but popularity brings great facilities. You can hire wet suits and warmup afterwards at the shoreline café. It also has Scotland’s only award-winning freshwater beach, so you can sunbathe between dips too.

RHOSSILI BAY

Voted the best beach in Wales and third in the UK, this is a must-swim. This impressive stretch of Celtic coastline, shaped like a giant sea snake, offers three miles of breathtaking views. It’s also a wildlife shelter, with a variety of cliff-nesting birds. Tides can be violent though, so if the sea looks rough, don’t swim.
