Wind?
Howling.
Rain?
Horizontal.
Swimmer?
Checking conditions very carefully.
Meet the Severe Weather Warning Card from Kimmer Wild Swimmer — a funny 148 x 148mm square greetings card celebrating wild swimming, British weather and those determined outdoor swimmers who know exactly how unpredictable conditions can be.
Featuring original artwork by British cartoonist Cookie, this quirky card makes a brilliant choice for wild swimmers, open-water swimmers, cold-water enthusiasts, swim buddies and anyone who spends an unreasonable amount of time discussing wind, rain and water temperature.
Wild weather.
Wild water.
Common sense required.
British weather does not always do subtle.
A little breeze?
Maybe.
A light shower?
Possibly.
Or...
Rain sideways.
Wind everywhere.
And a forecast full of warning symbols.
Severe Weather Warning celebrates that familiar wild-swimming ritual of checking the forecast and deciding whether today is a swimming day...
Or a flask-and-watch-the-water-from-a-safe-distance day.
Wild swimmers talk about weather differently.
Normal person:
“That looks awful.”
Wild swimmer:
“What’s the wind direction?”
But even the keenest swimmer knows some conditions are simply not suitable.
That is part of the adventure too.
Got a wild swimmer celebrating a birthday?
Perfect.
Severe Weather Warning makes a brilliant birthday card for:
Wild swimmers
Open-water swimmers
Cold-water swimmers
Sea swimmers
Lake swimmers
River swimmers
Swim buddies
Weather forecast?
Optimistic.
Actual weather?
Entirely different.
This card celebrates the wonderful unpredictability of British weather and the people who spend half their week checking it.
Perfect for anyone who knows the difference between:
“Bit breezy.”
And:
“Absolutely not.”
Every swim group has the weather conversation.
“What’s it doing Saturday?”
“Wind looks strong.”
“What about Sunday?”
“Worse.”
“Coffee instead?”
“Agreed.”
Severe Weather Warning makes a fun card for the swim buddy who always checks conditions before everyone heads out.
Open-water swimming means respecting the environment.
Weather.
Wind.
Water.
Visibility.
Conditions matter.
Severe Weather Warning brings a little humour to one of the realities of outdoor swimming — sometimes the smartest swim is the one you postpone.

Know someone who checks the weather forecast before checking their diary?
This may be his card.
Especially if phrases such as:
“Wind speed.”
“Water temperature.”
And:
“Looks a bit lively.”
Feature regularly in conversation.
Wild swimming friendships are built on:
Shared adventures.
Early starts.
Cold fingers.
Hot drinks.
And occasionally having enough sense to change the plan.
Severe Weather Warning makes a brilliant card for the friend you trust to say:
“Not today.”
No occasion required.
Send it because:
The forecast is ridiculous.
The swim has been cancelled.
Your swim buddy needs cheering up.
Or you both know exactly what Saturday’s weather is going to look like.

Dramatic.
