Wild swimmers Anna Deacon and Vicky Allan

Jo is joined by photographer Anna Deacon and writer Vicky Allan to discuss the joy of wild swimming and their book 鈥楾aking the Plunge: The Healing Power of Wild Swimming for Mind, Body and Soul鈥�.

Wild swimming changes lives. The thrill of plunging - or dipping a toe - into open water brings joy, confidence, adventure and friendship. It can wash away stress and sadness, pain and grief. Here water is a great healer, a place to feel gloriously, elementally alive and in touch with yourself, with others and with nature. 'Taking the Plunge' tells the story of why wild swimming has become such a well-being phenomenon through interviews with and breath-taking photos of the people who do it.

And whether you鈥檙e picking up or dropping off, Jo provides the soundtrack for the Taxi Service.
