Hi, I fancy a go at open water swimming, does any body know any clubs in the uk? I dont fancy drowning on my own! Cheers, Picky

Unforunately, not even those of us in the biggest cities enjoy a truly comprehensive swim shop in town. I think you'll find your best shopping through catalogs or online.
