Gone Swimming

It's a lake day for us! Who's joining us!

Gabby was out filming with ITV news last week and here is what she was up to!

Full moon means spring tides. Lots of water to play in!

As if you have not seen enough of Gabby recently, she's on ITV next week too. This time swimming in Anglesey at one her favourite places and then into the National Park to swim in one of the beautiful lakes, and then get interviewed in a robie. Pretty sure the robie will get as much attention as her now famous kilt did on BBC on Friday!

No need to go out swimming on Friday night, we are bringing the Welsh mountain lakes to your living room. Gabby is on BBC Wales swimming in Llyn Cau. You can watch this by either living in Wales, or for those less fortunate catch up on iplayer as soon at its been on the box! Happy viewing!

Sneak preview of some of the amazing shots you will see when Gabby is on IVT Wales this week. Love our crystal clear Welsh Coast!

Well today's class room was pretty excellent!

A perfect end to a busy and exciting day. We love that Llandudno in North Wales has a giant paddling pool right on the sea front!

We are super duper excited to see this being aired. Follow the link to see the clip for an episode of Weather Man Walking, where Gabby takes BBC Wales weather man swimming in one of our favourite spots. It's on next week in Wales and the the rest of the UK can catch up on iplayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06d84rx

What an amazing way to reduce the waste in our oceans. Have you started any new good habits to reduce, reuse or recycle.... Other than building African animals out for shoes!?!?

Have you ever thought of just packing up and moving to Anglesey so you can spend more time swimming and enjoying our amazing coast? Well now you can! This amazing home belongs to incredible friends of Gabby, and she will be sad to see the place go as they head onto the next adventure. But it could be yours! PM and we will put you in touch for more details.

The sun has well and truly got his hat on! The amazing and incredible Wendy saw around Llandwyn Island yesterday. We stopped only for tea, seals and dolphins. Beautiful weather and fantastic company, thanks so much Wendy!

We have exciting things happening in Anglesey this week! We can't wait! To join in follow the link below. http://www.angleseyactivities.co.uk/booki ng-and-pricing.htm…

What a day here in North Wales! Perfect day to introduce a swimmer to the open water. Swam like a champ! Time to relax and enjoy the sunset.

We made some fabulous memories with our guide Gabby in the lakes of Snowdon national park. Loved every moment- well worth our 11 hour round trip and we recommend this to anyone who enjoys swimming, adventure, great company and cake!

My five year old and I had a wonderful sea swim with Kay getting him used to swimming in the sea... Bit of swimming, bit of snorkeling, even an attempt at surfing � and a sea weed fight with lashings of hot chocolate and ice cream.... Fabulous afternoon.... We'll be back when he is a stronger swimmer

I've had two weekends away with Gone Swimming, both were excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. Knowledgable and friendly hosts with excellent swimming, food and company. My wife went on the second weekend with our 3 dogs and all were accommodated and well looked after. I would totally recommend gone swimming to anyone interested in outdoor swimming, the Welsh countryside or food :-)

I'm not the best swimmer it's fair to say but despite this and having a disability Gabby persevered to help me, finding alternative solutions when I wasn't able to follow the normal route. Once baby number two arrives I'll be back!

I like to think i am fit having done many ultra events. But, swim one length of a pool (25m) and I was exhausted as my technique was so poor. Gabby has taken me from that to my first open water swim in 3 weeks - an absolutely amazing coach.

I joined Gabby with Gone Swimming in October last year and had a wonderful time in Anglesey and Snowdonia. There was fantastic support from Gabby, another lifeguard and others in the group on the 3 day break. Participants varied from those who'd not had much swimming experience to others who'd been on various excursions in the deep blue. The food prepared by Gabby was scrumptious! The evening discussions were certainly educating, entertaining and enlightening. I can't wait for the next opportunity to take part.

I have had some of the best times of my life with gone swimming. Amazing adventures, delicious food, interesting conversations. Most memorably a swim in the snow half way up a mountain, followed by steaming cups of tea and tasty cake. And night swimming in the sea with glow sticks. And a waterfall in January.... and the cake. So much delicious cake ( sorry for mentioning it so many times) . They kept me safe as well, and didn't mind that I am very enthusiastic but not at all speedy.

I have been on quite a few Wet Weekends and have had a great time on every single one. Great people great swims great food, everyone should try a Wet Weekend

I have been on on 5 Gone Swimming holidays. They really are my favourite way to spend the weekend ! Beautiful locations, great swimming experiences, the best food and company. Gabby and Co know how to run a safe and fun holiday for all swimming abilities. I can't wait to go on Gone Swimming holiday 6 !

I have been on 3 gone swimming wet weekends (in 3 different locations) and they were all brilliant. We went to lovely and varied swimming spots from lakes, rivers and the sea. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the food was just amazing and, yes, the cakes are out of this world! Gabby and team are wonderful hosts (as well as very professional and I 100% trust them in keeping me safe) and I've always had lots of fun with the other guests. I would highly highly recommend gone swimming and will definitely be booking another trip in the future.

I had such an amazing day out with Gabby and Kay. The swims were sublime,in beautiful Snowdonian lakes. The food was delicious and the organisation impeccable. I would totally and utterly recommend xxxxxx

Had a wonderful afternoon swimming with just my mum and Gabby for company in crystal clear beautiful green sea and bright blue skies. An afternoon I'll treasure forever. Thank you.

Had a lovely chilled weekend with Gone Swimming in Anglesey last October. Sea water still surprisingly warm. Loved the versatility of so many swim options very much tailored to what the clients on that weekend wanted. Amazing food and great company... go on, you know you want to.

Gabby has renewed my confidence in being able to enjoy UK open water swimming, even at my age of 64. So I'll definitely be back for more. Once through the first cold couple of minutes, I didn't want to get out of the water. And felt like a kid again.

Everything others have said about the cakes is true and the main courses are good as well. Rhosneigr accommodation lovely, with great attention to detail and water safety.

Fantastic trip away and so accommodating with our dogs too. Great food and amazing company and hosts - thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic day swimming in the lakes of Snowdonia. Lovely company, glorious scenery and fabulous food all homemade by Gabby. A wonderful day - will definitely be back!

Fantastic all round - good, location, company , cost - just ace way to spend a day with likeminded people xx

Cannot recommend Gabby and Gone Swimming enough. Had a great day out in Anglesey, beautiful swims, chill out on the beaches and yummy food and cake - better than any spa day and I'll definitely be back for more!!

Well worth the cost and use of annual leave! ��

Awesome company with the coolest instructor! Gabby is a legend!
