To deal with the unimaginable grief of losing her friend - Cat started swimming in the wild. ‘I lived in Oxfordshire, really near a lake and I just felt really strongly one day that I needed to get in the cold water, just to feel something.’
Actor Cat White, 27, took up wild swimming to ‘feel something’ after the death of her friend left her numb with grief
Cat, pictured at one of the lakes where she swam as part of her journey of healing, says she had no idea her friend wanted to take his own life – or that he had mental health struggles ‘I lived in Oxfordshire, really near a lake and I just felt really strongly one day that I needed to get in the cold water, just to feel something’ she remembers. ‘I felt like I’d lost my voice, like something was trapped.’After that first freezing dip, swimming in open water became central to Cat’s healing journey.
‘I hated what the water did to my hair. Nobody who looked like me swam. Even my own mum had nearly drowned as a teenager and was terrified of the water, a common story among the Black community. Eventually I just stopped. Celia Imrie plays Gloria in the film, another wild swimmer who is using open water for her own personal journey. She said: ‘I am honoured to be a part of this truly heart-breaking yet uplifting story. So importantly this wonderful film gives us back hope’
