An treas streath a’ leantail Chaluim MhicIlleathain a’ snàmh ann an uisgeachan reòite ann an àrainneachd iomallach. Tha Calum airson a h-uile seòrsa snàimh a dhèanamh agus rinn e liosta pearsanta dheth na lochan agus uisgeachan a bu mhiann leis snamh: anns an loch as àirde, an loch as doimhne agus an snamh bhon tràigh as fhaidte dhan iar. Tòrr dheth na h-àiteachan ‘s fheàrr leis, chan eil iad air an sanasachd agus feumaidh snàmhadair oidhirp air leth an ruighinn.

Anns a’ phrògram-sa, bidh Calum a’ snàmh aig Eas Labhra far a bheil Loch Èite a’ coinneachadh ris an Linne Latharnaich. Bidh Calum an còmhnaidh a’ sireadh àiteachan snàimh a tha beagan mi-àbhaisteach, rudeigin nach bi snàmhadair sam bith eile a’ feuchainn.

Chan eil e neònach daoine fhaicinn anns an t-sàl seo ach mar is tric ‘s e muinntir nan curach agus daibhearan a chì sibh!. Ach ‘s toil le Calum dùbhlan agus tha e a’ dol a dh’fheuchainn snàmh aig an eas.

Calum Maclean 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 he has made a personal wish list of places he has always wanted to visit and swim in. Among the locations are the deepest loch in Scotland, the highest loch and to swim from 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.

Calum swims at the Falls of Lora, where River Etive meets the Firth of Lorne. Calum often looks for a challenge and tries to find locations that are remarkable and which other swimmers do not frequent. It is not unusual to see canoeists or divers in these waters. But Calum thrives on testing his ability and he aims to swim in the powerful current at the Falls of Lora.
