A series following Calum MacLean as he shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers. There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming, and in this third series, he is determined to try swims on his personal wishlist - amongst them the most fun swim, to swim in the highest loch, the deepest loch and to swim at the most westerly beach in Scotland. He has chosen ten of his favourite places throughout Scotland, most of which are not well known and difficult to access without strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 'I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen'.

The locations featured include Vatersay, Loch Morar, Glen Etive, Staffa and Loch Arkaig. As always, Calum is keen to challenge himself and in this first episode, he hopes to swim in Lochan Na Poite near Applecross. First though, he has to locate the lochs high up in the hills. And it鈥檚 snowing and misty!
