Chilling With Colin
As he bounces around Great Britain and the European continent swimming in myriad open bodies of water, from frozen seashores to tranquil lakes, Colin Hill continues to make significant progress pushing the boundaries and public awareness of the sport. Apart from that working hard to make the Chillswim brand grow, he is organizing a variety of events and promotes different products.
Hill organizes the Big Chill Swim, an ice swimming event, and the Chillswim Coniston, a 5.25 mile point-to-point lake swim event. He is also promoting the Chillswim tow-floats and dry bags as high visibility aids in open water (shown above in Windermere).
