Author: Suzanna Cruickshank

Suzanna Cruickshank is an outdoor swim guide based in the Lake District. She moved to Cumbria on a whim in 2006 after climbing one mountain and has been in love with the area ever since. She has her own business, Suzanna Swims, leading guided swims and swim-hikes for groups and individuals. Suzanna set the business up based on her experiences leading all-women walking groups and strives to offer low-key and unpressured swims with no competitive or training element. In her spare time she loves to walk in the quieter parts of the Lake District on the lookout for great places to swim. Suzanna has competed at the Winter Swimming World Championships and was a medallist in the inaugural Scottish Winter Swimming Championships in 2019. She lives in West Cumbria with her ferocious dog Rosie. Swimming Wild in the Lake District is her first book.
