Hello, and welcome to Wild Wimmin the Wild Swimming Podcast, I’m Laura Macdonald. 

Today I am chatting about access rights to waterways in England with the utterly lovely Chantelle Grundy.   She's an Access & Environment Officer with British Canoeing and very generously agreed to talk Wild Wimmin about the work that she does to bring clarity to the laws on our rights to access the waterways in England through the Clear Access Clear waters campaign.   We chatted about how she got started in the water,  the vagaries of the law, and why it’s so important to put your swim stories and good works on social media. 

You can support the podcast via Patreon for as little as £3 a month. Patrons will get access to exclusive Wild Wimmin content and (eventually…) merch! You will be helping to shape the future of the podcast.

Please take a minute to like,  subscribe and review. It helps other swimmers to find the podcast.
