About Us

Welcome to Swim into the Wild! We are just two women who love outdoor/wild swimming and hosting weekend retreats and glamping holidays for visitors to our beautiful counties of Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.
Meet Kate, a Bluetits Swim Coach, who qualified in 2022 and has since run many Introduction to Cold Water Swimming Courses as well as being a Holistic Therapist. She's got a really calming presence, who can tell you all about the benefits (and risks) of getting into the cold.
Emily, followed suit and completed her Swim Coach qualification in 2024, but she also runs Grove Farm Glamping, where the summer retreats are held and is a Private Chef, so will always make sure there are plenty of sweet treats available!
Kate and Emily met up at Keepers Pond and have been swimming together ever since!
