This short film – Liminal, produced by PH Balance, explores how wild swimming in rivers, lakes and oceans has helped adventurer, Jude Palmer, deal with her illness and how she now helps others discover the benefits of nature and being in water.

Wild Swimming

In modern society, we are beginning to learn and accept that immersing ourselves in nature and the great outdoors has a direct impact to supporting our mental health and wellbeing. However, even the most active of individuals will still struggle with their mental wellbeing, and often persue new challenges, adventures and outputs in order to battle the challenges we face on a daily basis.

So what is wild swimming? As defined by much better adventures, Wild swimming is, to all intents and purposes, going swimming outside in a natural pool of water. That pool might be at a bend in a river, or it might be the sea.
