Built by swimmers, for swimmers
Wild Open Water exists because we got tired of checking five different apps before a swim. So we built one that brings everything together.

Our Mission
Open water swimming is one of the most rewarding things you can do. But it demands respect. Conditions change fast: tides turn, temperatures drop, water quality fluctuates. Making good decisions depends on having good information.
Wild Open Water brings that information together from the bodies that publish it: Open-Meteo for weather, marine and wave forecasts, the Copernicus Marine Service for satellite sea-surface temperature, WorldTides for tide predictions, and the six national agencies that publish bathing-water quality and river levels. Alongside it sit 40,000+ reports from swimmers who were actually there. The result is a single place where you can check conditions, discover spots, and decide for yourself.
Our Data Sources
Live data sourced from national forecast models, government agencies and marine services.
Scientific Integrity
Where we estimate water temperature for lakes and rivers, we use peer-reviewed scientific models with full citations. Every model parameter is traceable to a published paper. We show you the accuracy margins, the calibration dataset, and a link to the original research.
We never fabricate data, adjust published formulas, or overstate accuracy. If a model was calibrated on French lakes and you're swimming in Scotland, we tell you that. You deserve to know what you're looking at.
