When Sophie Skellern lost her grandma, whom she had nursed through her dying days during the first lockdown, the one thing that helped ease her grief was open-water swimming.
Whatever the weather, three times a week, Sophie would pull on her swimming costume and head to the lake at Sale Water Park, near her home in Manchester, where, front crawling through the chilly waters, she would briefly forget her sadness.
In fact, wild swimming left Sophie, 29, feeling so exhilarated that it had never occurred to her what a risky form of exercise it can be.
