Bathing in the Brecks: Outdoor Swimming past, present & future. See the menus for info and stories added so far, and keep watching this space as more is added in 2025. Meanwhile, you can also find out about more about the Tales from the River and Healing Waters projects in one section of Imogen’s River Swims website.

Those projects were part of The Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers Landscape Partnership Scheme (BFER), 2020-2024. Healing Waters: Outdoor Swimming promoted safe and responsible outdoor swimming and access, and Tales from the River discovered and celebrated stories of swimming and other recreation in the rivers and other waters. Download a review of both projects – slides with notes (PDF 40 pages) – given at end of BFER celebration conference 30 January 2025. Read more about the River History of the Brecks and about Outdoor Swimming in the Brecks in pages and Updates on this website.
