Open Water Swimming guidance from Dee Newell

Feral Friend and open water swimmer Dee Newell has created a brilliant series of videos with Water Safety Ireland about open water swimming. Dee certainly knows her stuff, regularly swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. 

These are a fantastic resource for those of you easing yourself back into the water. Great to see our Turtleback as a key part of her kit too...
