Calum Maclean

Calum Maclean is a writer, broadcaster and experienced outdoor swimmer. He swims year-round in all conditions, from cold water dipping and competing in ice swimming races, to long-distance open water swims. He makes films for the BBC on this subject in both Gaelic and English, including his series for BBC ALBA, Dhan Uisge (Into the Water) and his much-loved films for BBC The Social. An ambassador for the Outdoor Swimming Society, Calum is a speaker and an award-winning filmmaker. Possibly best know for the creation of the One Minute Midgie Challenge, he's not one to shirk a challenge.

He lives in Perthshire where his regular swimming spot is the River Tay.
