Behind the Headlines / Bristol Harbour
A harbour swimming special
The council is set to lift a ban on swimming in the harbour for a five week trial starting on Saturday.
Ahead of the pilot, Reporter Betty Woolerton spoke to Johnny Palmer, founder of Swim Bristol Harbour, Labour councillor Ellie King and Green councillor Patrick Patrick McAllister, on accessible blue spaces in the city, the physical and mental benefits of wild swimming and how the pilot in Hotwells will be made safe.
