Summary
"The cold water has given me the key to unlock myself within a place I didn’t know existed: the community of cold water swimmers right around the world. What binds us all together is the cold and how it makes us feel: brave enough to tackle even the toughest of life’s issues."
Having been a keen runner and cyclist all her life, in 2017 Sara Barnes was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis and found herself facing major surgery and a future of limited mobility. Rather than obsessing about what she could no longer do, she decided to focus on what she could do and took to the water of the tarns, river pools and lakes in her home county of Cumbria. A new appreciation of being in nature and love of cold water swimming and immersion was born.
In The Cold Fix, Sara takes the listener on an enthralling journey, from her first tentative steps into the water, to meeting other swimmers from around the world who share her passion and who can help her answer the question: what is it about cold water that proves irresistible to an increasing number of people?

A Deeply Personal Exploration in Cold Water
Sara Barnes has written a beautiful, at times evocative, and inspiring book about the delights of cold water swimming. From Lakeland streams and tarns to ice holes in Scandinavia the book leads the listener on an immersive journey, the story will at times leave you shivering, exhilarated and fulfilled. It is fun, a bit naughty and thankfully has a few tips at the end to ease you into the watery experience.
