LONDON -- With the weather slowly but surely heating up and summer just around a corner or two, now's the time to think about heading off for some wild swimming.
While the country's beaches start teeming with pasty flesh the second the sun pokes through the clouds, there are loads of secret, more secluded spots for a dip. From Snowdonia to Devon, via Wales' Brecon Beacons and even north London, the UK harbours an array of lakes, rivers and pools just waiting to be discovered.
Don't forget when you're swimming to follow the Water Safety Code and pay attention to local safety signs.
Here are twelve places to add to your list this summer.
