Book Launch: The Ripple Effect

We're thrilled to announce that Vicky Allan and and Anna Deacon, authors of The Art of Wild Swimming: Scotland will be joining us in East Linton Community Hall to discuss their new book, The Ripple Effect: A Celebration of Britain's Wild Swimming Communities, followed by a Q&A and book signing!

Vicky and Anna will be in conversation with Alan Nash at East Linton Community Hall, 75 High Street, on Sunday, 8th October, at 5pm.

Copies of The Ripple Effect (RRP £20) will be available to purchase on the night, and £5 from each ticket will be redeemable against book purchases during the event.

About the book:

After the success of Taking the Plunge in 2019, Anna Deacon & Vicky Allan have seen wild swimming take off. From those who bathe in ice cold sunrise waters to wild swimmers under a moonlit sky, whether you like a dip in the buff, ice therapy or are on a mission to find like-minded people to share the experience of menopause, mental health issues and more, there is a community out there for everyone. As they swim their way through the country, they find a ripple effect.

Swimmers changing the world and transforming their own lives together. As they spread the joy of immersion they also unearth tips and tricks from the wild swimming community, from the best spots, to safety tips and most importantly, how to find your own wild tribe.

Hardback, 256 pages, published 28 September 2023.
