After being made redundant during lockdown, Caroline started wild swimming, which gave her a connection with nature that's helped her mental health.
Caroline talks about the feelings she gets when she connects with nature when she's wild swimming:
I get a real calmness. When I go in, I just decompress and everything just slows down.
