Welcome to season 2 of Wild Wimmin the wild swimming podcast, I'm Laura Macdonald.
Today’s Wild Wimmer is Lou Jones, a swimbler and occasional serious swimmer who took her love of outdoor swimming and passion for all things green into the world of business. Lou started Sea and Stream, an online shop for swimmers with the focus on sustainability. Lou saves you time and brain space by sourcing the most sustainably made version of all your favourite swim essentials. She gives 1% of sales to environmental organisations.
