The OSS Manifesto (http://www.outdoorswimmingsociety.com/)
The Outdoor Swimming Society believes that it’s time British swimmers had more fun. In the early 1900s there were river swimming clubs and lidos all over the country, but outdoor swimming died out as indoor pools came in.
We believe it’s time to get back to the joy of swimming under an open sky. Water needs no roof! Our manifesto:
– We believe swimmers have too long been held in chlorined captivity! Everyone with a set of bathers should be set free to immerse themselves in nature
– We support all those keeping lidos open and lakes and rivers clean
– We promise to enlarge and celebrate the beauty of every day we can by going for a nice outdoor swim
– We pledge to take our friends with us so they can join
– We embrace the rejuvenating effects of cold water and undertake to strip and dip wherever we can
