Love your river? — go swim in it

The beauty and diversity of UK waterways will be celebrated on Sunday (July 10, 2011) when swimmers at Stowford near Trowbridge will join thousands of swimmers across Europe who will be leaping into rivers at 4pm in the Outdoor Swimming Society Big Jump campaign to encourage swimmers to love their rivers, go swimming in them and to raise awareness of clean water issues.
