Inspiring, immersive, uplifting

Loves this film- beautifully shot to give a real sense of the many reasons why people swim in the Avon and what they get from it.

Seamlessly interweaves a myriad of stories to create a really compelling film. The director has found some fascinating people to dispel the myth of who we might think a 'wild swimmer' is to tell their personal stories in ways that are illuminating and engaging and gives a sense of the spirit of Bristol.

Beautiful soundtrack that further engages with the place and the people.

I've never seen Bristol look so beautiful and gives a real insight into why saving the Avon is so important- made me want to try wold swimming!
