UJ & Paul Smith’s Swim Guide 2011
There’s nothing that gets us quite as excited as the onset of summer: the smell of freshly cut grass, the tickle of a balmy breeze, and long light-filled days. Then of course, there’s the return of all that outdoorsy goodness we’ve so missed: barbeques, open-air cinema, festivals, and the opportunity to get a little wet. Yep, when it gets hot we like nothing better than dipping our toes into some watery refreshment, be it nature’s own rivulets or a posh rooftop pool. We’ve been so inspired by swimming spots this summer that for April, we’ve teamed up with Paul Smith to create ‘A Bigger Splash’ - our guide to the most exciting and beautiful swimming destinations around the globe.
