Tell us about the WildSwim app.
The app is designed to provide all the information a swimmer needs in one easily accessible place. It’s also made to be as easy to read as possible. It’s designed around safety.
When users upload their local swim spots they have a section where they fill out the hazards at that spot, the facilities, parking, etc. The app pulls in the tide times and local weather, and an algorithm suggests the best time of day to swim based on lots of factors, including the tide, wind direction and wind strength. It also advises the maximum time that should be spent in the water based on the current water temperature, before the risk of hypothermia increases.
