About

I (Heidi) founded Source to Sea in 2024 after recognising a gap in the UK Swimrun scene. I wanted to create a community where people could come and discover the fantastic (if a little bonkers) sport of Swimrun. I competed in my first event in 2019 and was instantly hooked!

Swimrun is a massively fun, addictive, and fulfilling sport which deserves to grow. I am currently based in the Lake District, but I hope to expand the community to Scotland and beyond soon. Let’s face it – it’s all one big playground!

Alongside Swimrun I also offer open water swimming specific coaching and fully guided swim hikes for those that want to explore at a slightly slower pace. Whether you are just starting out, or are a seasoned athlete, I offer coaching and guidance to help you achieve your own personal goals.

With over 20 years of competitive experience in by back pocket, you’re in safe hands. Sea, river, lake, ditch, you name it, I’ve swum in it! I can provide advice on best practices for all the wonderfully varied bodies of water here in the UK.

I am also a qualified mountain leader, with a wealth of experience running and hiking in the UK mountains. I think we are so lucky in this country to have such amazing landscapes, and I think there’s no better place to be than out there exploring them with others.

Coaching and guiding in the outdoors really is my passion, and I see being part of your journey as a real privilege. With that in mind, I’d love for you to come join this fabulous community and see what its all about. Get in touch today to find out more.
