A guide to 120 top swimming spots you may not know of around New Zealand

Best-selling Kiwi author Nicola McCloy loves to swim. She never goes anywhere without togs, GoPro, goggles and a towel. If there is water, she will find it and get in it! Her years of enjoying the water have led to this book setting out the popular and the secret swimming spots all around New Zealand. From Hot Water Beach to Fiordland's Lake McKenzie, from secluded sandy bays, to crystal clear alpine tarns, hidden lagoons, prehistoric lakes, rivers and beaches, Wild Swims is a guide to Aotearoa's best swimming destinations. Going from north to south, with instructions on how to get there, amenities, ease of access, parking, level of ability needed and child- and dog-friendliness, alongside descriptions and stories, all accompanied by delightful full-colour images, this is a book you will want to keep close at hand when doing a trip of any length - from a day outing to a full-blown road trip.
