Wild swimming is the practice of swimming in natural bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and the sea, often associated with outdoor recreation and connecting with nature. 

For wild swimming, wear a swimsuit or trunks in warm weather, and consider a wetsuit for colder temperatures. Water shoes, goggles, and a swim cap are also recommended accessories. 

Wild swimming is generally considered good for you, offering benefits such as better sleep, increased happiness, a boosted immune system, and potential prevention of long-term health conditions.
