HYDROTHERAPY - Overcoming a life changing illness through wild swimming | Friction Collective

Hydrotherapy is a story of adaptation, strength & re-wilding set in the raw and beautiful landscapes of Snowdonia National park. Laura has not only overcome a life changing illness through wild swimming, but has also found a greater connection to the natural world. This has ignited her mission to make a stand for the natural environment, and protect wild waters and wild spaces across the UK.

NB:
This activity comes with significant risks. With fewer lifeguards on duty at the moment, and cold water temperatures, now may not be the time to risk your safety, or risk putting any additional strains on emergency services. We really hope that you feel inspired to start planning some wild swimming adventures, but for now we urge you to consider yours and others safety in participating in any form of open water swimming.
