| Dataset Description (Abstract): | Open water swimming has seen a rapid increase in popularity, partly due to the physical health benefits it can provide but also with the growing interest in (re)connecting with nature for environment-health interactions. Using a national-scale online survey of 717 open water swimmers, the aim of this study was to investigate patterns and trends in perceived benefits and risks of open water swimming to both public health and the environment; and to understand whether these perceived risks and benefits vary across different typologies of swimmers and open water, or ‘blue space’, environments. |

It includes responses to all survey questions (labeled in column headers as clear descriptors of each question). Each row in the dataset represents the responses to all questions answered by a single participant. The Excel file contains 1 worksheet. |
