Wild Woman Swimming

“Devon paramedic Lynne Roper began swimming outdoors in 2011 while recovering from a double mastectomy. Warm, funny and fearless, she was soon at the heart of The Outdoor Swimming Society, inspiring others to swim wild, ‘read water’ and take educated risks as she did. For five years, until a brain tumour made swimming and writing impossibly hard, Lynne recorded her swims in over sixty wild waters. Editor Tanya Shadrick promised to publish the diaries after a single meeting with the author in the month before she died”–Provided by publisher.
