Brilliant advice. I got myself a onesie and it has been a game changer, so easy to get into under a changing robe and only have one item of clothing to remember

Hi Rachel, thank you for yet another fabulous and informative video!! They are a highlight to my Tuesdays!! Your tip about clipping the tow float belt through the top clip has blown my mind and I will definitely be doing this. Hope you have a great day!!

Love your videos. So simple and useful. I am using your tips to help me start my first winter of swimming (Suffolk UK).

Thank you for this! Stepping into my vest has changed my life! Best tip ever! 👍💙🌊

Morning Rachel, thanks for another useful video. I just want to learn your trick of magically holding then wearing each item! 😂

Fab advice Rachel. This is one thing I love about outdoor swimming is that no-one cares what you're dress in or what size you are. I also love in this video that you've said you don't need all fancy schmancy kit. It's funny how we all have our own system of getting ready. After getting dry the first thing I do is put my socks on to stop my tootsies dropping off.

It's election day here in New England USA and I started the day the best possible way: a bracing swim in the Atlantic. Watching your videos has given me tools and confidence to attempt a longer swim season than I had previously imagined. I have a pair of snow pants that are fleecy on the inside, windproof on the outside, with zippers at the ankles made to accommodate big boots that I plan to test for colder conditions. I've been practicing my quick change for almost a month now in prep for the cold weather - not quite where I'd like to be yet in terms of speed, but working on it. Sand and wind are the two biggest challenges for me and quick dressing. Thanks for all you do!

Love it Rach!!! I've been psyching myself up to get back into swimming, a great reminder to keep it simple, get warm as soon as you can, and that its not a fashion parade :)

Thank-you Rachael, I now know how to address the booties issue. I've seen a few people in pjs at the beach, but I often pop in the shop first, so maybe not. Had my first swim in the fog the other day!

Hi Rachel, you've inspired me, I have watch loads of your video, thay are brilliant, and I went for my first sea swim yesterday. It was amazing! Thank you so much. I'm going again today....can't wait.

Great video, I'm thinking about starting this and I'm post hip replacement and was totting up all the cost but your advice is so valuable.

Great practical advice as ever Rachel. The vest step in manoeuvre has become a favourite of mine

Thank you for the advice 😊

Brilliant video! It is good to know how we need to look after ourselves to take care of ourselves in the autumn and winter months. Thank you. Px

Rach, I am really enjoying your content and your positive personality! I haven't been in the pool in about 6 years but am inspired to see how winter swimming might go. My two daughters and I are going to jump in the ocean off Portland, Maine, this Saturday, Nov. 20. Wish us luck!

Love the idea of turning the tow float into a knapsack...great idea! Do you wear the exact post swim clothes TO the swim? I never like being too warm before the swim. I was surprised that you just put on a tank top. You are a tough cookie!

Those trousers are fab! And you’re highly respectable in my book😃👍🏻

Thanks Rachel for another Tuesday instalment of valuable wild swimming info. I know this sounds ultra corny, but you’re like an encyclopedia of wild swimming knowledge... only way more pleasant and interesting! There are lots of good ideas presented here for me to try out with my post swimming attire!

You're just Fab :)

Thanks for this, love your videos, always look forward to seeing them!

I've been practising the cold water immersion.. just need to practise the little jumps and hand claps for my clothes to go on instantaneously.. Struggling with this magic at the moment 😁

Great advice as usual! Love the slippers!😁

Fingerless gloves for the win 🙌

Another great video Rachel, it was great to hear we have a mutual connection. I’m on day 137 of daily consecutive dips. And I share your video with The Bournemouth Sea Dippers weekly Take care X

I suffer with cold feet, not during the swim, but afterwards they seem to get colder! Morrison’s have got some great thick & thermal socks in just now! £4 per pair, any colour as long as it’s black!

“If you want to keep the girls under control” ?? We love you Rach!

Well u hv give me some good tips ..I will b in north sea on Sunday 1st time 4 me ... bring it on ..ps u look perfect :)

Love the magic clothes. Must get some glovelettes. :-)

Love your videos. Thank you

I have a great pair of £5 fleecey joggers from Primark, they are baggy enough to go over boots if needs be. Result! 😁

Great video! Do you keep your wet swimming costume on underneath until you're home?

Hi Rachel, super video as usual... my only problem is with the feet because they get super cold now. But even if I put socks and shoes on immediately they take hours to warm up.. any tips?

Rachel, Excellent. That was great can you suggest/review footwear that is good for a post swim? For those driving home this would mean presumably a change of footwaer once you are warm that is safe for driving.

I love your fingerless gloves but am struggling to find any as nice and thick and warm looking as yours. Can you tell us where you got them?

Hi Loving your videos....I'm playing catch up as only just recently subscribed. Can I ask about the tow float. Do you prefer the one in this video or the rucksack one? I have a small doughnut one at the minute but it only hold a small amount (not my dry robe).

It might be a stupid question but do you keep your swimming costume on?

do you leave your kit by the shore whilst swimming?

Ermmmm where does one swim during lockdown. Everything near me got shut... 😭

A bit disappointed that you haven't done any lunges for a few weeks. Haha.

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️👍❤️

Rach re 1:15 you are indeed sexy - seriously! Not a 'beast' though :) Love love love your editing so that you snapped on every piece of clothing. Makes sense not to have shoes other than crocs with you on float - a bit like luggage on a flight or holiday - shoes take up all the space!

Are you walking back to the car in a wet swimsuit? And are you driving home in a wet swimsuit?

Minimal kit! I always have hot water bottles and more layers than you - so am lugging a lot of stuff - proper bag lady sometimes!! but I don’t go back to the car immediately...
