Calum MacLean 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 these programmes he reveals another eight of his favourite places throughout Scotland. His varied chosen settings are not often publicised and some can only be accessed after strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 鈥淚 love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen.鈥 The locations featured include Lochindorb, the Isle of Arran, and a swim across the Firth of Forth.

As always, he is keen to challenge himself and in this episode, on a cold frosty morning, Calum travels to Loch Morlich near Aviemore. He discovers that the loch is still covered in snow and iced over but Calum does not let that prevent him enjoying an invigorating swim.
