  • A wild bather swims the breast stroke in mountain waters of River Shiel in Moidart on the Ardnamurchan peninsular, Western Scotland. Viewed from a high viewpoint, an aerial perspective from a nearby bridge, we see the man having entered the water from rocks, and out into the current which will take him under the bridge and into a wider channel. Ripples expand outwards from the man. The water is pure and clean, having come from mountain streams and springs, if a little cold. But the swimmer is wearing a wetsuit to protect him from the chill. It is a near-perfect place that is largely secret from outsiders.

  • Dancing Ledge, Langton Matravers, Swanage, Dorset. Blasted into the rock to provide bracing exercise for pupils from a nearby prep school, Dancing Ledge was so called because of the area of stone cut from this disused quarry is the size of a ballroom dance floor. Until the 1950s and the rise of the heated indoor swimming pool, children learnt to swim outdoors. For those close to the sea, many man-made tidal swimming pools were constructed around Britain’s coastline. Heated by the sun, these tidal pools were often built to keep bathers safe from high and rough seas, which explains why so many of them are clustered in Scotland and around the surfing beaches of Cornwall. Whether they are simple swimming holes made by shoring up natural rock pools or grand lido-like pools complete with lifeguards and tea huts, they are all refreshed by good high tides.

  • Lifeguards in the seaside resort of Lowestoft practise the recovery position and resuscitation to a volunteer seaside victim. Lying on the smooth sand near the water's edge, a young man wearing a wetsuit lies pretending to be unconscious, having ingested sea water and requiring immediate treatment by the staff, well-versed in saving lives. As one starts chest compressions, the other holds on the mouth before continuing mouth-to-mouth. Passing time is vital if they are to start a heart and get air into the brain.
