SHE SCALES SUMMER SWIM

📅 Date: Wednesday 22nd July 2026
🕰️ Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm
📍 Location: Loch Fitty, Fife (Google Maps)

Due to an unexpected jellyfish invasion at Portobello Beach, we've had to change our swim location. The good news is that we'll now be gathering at the beautiful Loch Fitty, one of Fife's most popular wild swimming locations, for what promises to be a memorable final She Scales get-together.

Join us as we celebrate the end of another incredible She Scales cohort with a morning of simplicity, connection, and mindful adventure in nature. This is an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life, spend time with fellow founders, reflect on your journey, and leave feeling refreshed and energised for whatever comes next.

📍 Loch Fitty Car Park at 10:00am (see Google Maps link above for exact location).

Huge thanks to Lee Walls, experienced wild swimmer and founder of Wild Swimer and The Noody Dook, who will guide us in an invigorating loch dip together.

Whether you're a seasoned cold-water swimmer or trying it for the very first time, this is all about enjoying nature, supporting one another, and celebrating how far you've come.

Your wellbeing is our top priority. We want this experience to leave you feeling refreshed, resilient, and ready for what's next.

Wake up and check in with yourself. Make sure you're feeling well and continue listening to your body throughout the event.

Wild swimming is an incredible experience, but all participants enter the water entirely at their own risk.

Don't worry if you're a complete beginner. Lee will share practical guidance and breathing techniques to help you manage the initial cold-water response and build confidence before entering the water.

If you're new to cold-water swimming, we recommend staying in the water for no longer than three minutes. You'll still benefit from the invigorating experience and leave feeling refreshed.

If you're already comfortable in open water, please continue to swim responsibly and remain within the designated area.

• Swimwear
• Towel or swim robe
• Plenty of warm, easy-to-pull-on layers for afterwards
• Warm hat
• Warm drink in a flask (We will bring the cakes 🍰)
• Suitable footwear for uneven ground around the loch

Let's celebrate the end of an incredible cohort by embracing the elements, connecting with nature, and filling our lungs with fresh Scottish air. We can't wait to see you there.

Lee Walls is the founder of Wild Changer and The Noody Dook, and a passionate advocate for the physical and mental wellbeing benefits of cold-water immersion and outdoor swimming.

Lee is also the creator of the Scotland Wild Swimming Map, Wild Changer's comprehensive guide to some of the country's best wild swimming locations, sea dips, tidal pools, and saunas. Designed to inspire more people to explore Scotland's incredible outdoor waters, the map has become a go-to resource for wild swimmers seeking their next adventure.Lee combines practical safety guidance with an infectious enthusiasm for the outdoors, making wild swimming accessible and enjoyable for both first-time dippers and experienced swimmers alike.
