Series following Calum Maclean as he shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers. There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming, and in this ten-part series, he reveals some of his favourite places throughout Scotland. His chosen settings are ones not often trumpeted and some that can only be accessed after strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 'I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen'.

The ten locations featured include River Douchary, Loch Maree Islands, Loch Coruisk, Easdale Island and Sanna, Ardnamurchan. Calum also takes up a challenge to swim through punishing currents over to the island of Luing. As we visit all of these amazing spots, we learn more about wild swimming and its current popularity, and why Calum goes to such lengths for that perfect swim!
