Discover some of Exmoor and North Devon’s most beautiful rivers and coastal swimming locations on a private guided experience with Unity. Whether you’re trying wild swimming for the first time, looking for a gentle dip in nature or hoping to explore somewhere new with an experienced local guide, Unity will tailor the session around your confidence, swimming ability and what you would like from the experience. Your two-hour session begins with a safety and equipment briefing before walking together to a carefully selected swimming location. Unity will help you enter the water at your own pace, offer practical support with cold-water confidence and guide the experience according to the needs of your group. The exact location will be agreed in advance and may include a secluded river pool, sheltered coastal spot or another suitable open-water location across Exmoor, West Somerset or North Devon. Locations and timings are selected according to weather, tides, river levels, access and water conditions. Sessions can be booked privately for individuals, couples and small groups. Participants should already be able to swim at least 50 metres, although the experience can be shaped around those who prefer a short, supported dip rather than a longer swim. A full kit list and meeting instructions will be provided beforehand. Teenagers aged 12 and over are welcome by prior arrangement and must be accompanied by a supervising adult. When requesting your booking, please share your group size, swimming experience and what you would most like from the session. Your chosen date and time will remain provisional until Unity has confirmed a suitable location and conditions.
