Chill: The Cold Water Swim Cure―​A Transformative Guide to Renew Your Body and Mind

It’s also a superb manual for those who are yet to embrace their inner cold water swimmer. This book contains lots of practical advice about swimming or dipping in cold water. I’ve been cold water swimming for a while and I’ve picked up so many excellent tips from this book. It’s incredible. But this book is much more besides. It’s a beautiful life-enhancing book written for everyone who struggles with aspects of being human. Buy it for your father who has arthritis, for your your depressed brother, for your menopausal mother and for your workaholic friend. Everyone needs to read this book. And while you’re buying it for your loved ones, buy a copy for yourself, you absolutely won’t regret it.(If you put cold water swimming into Amazon search this book doesn’t come up. I think it should be top of the list.)

This book is like a friend to go swimming with. I was already into cold water swimming but knowing this extra layer of science has really made me re-commit. It's an easy, cheerful read packed with information. A great book for anyone who loves science, the body, health and wants to connect with the outdoors in the most intimate way possible.
