Crouch End's swimmers share what gives them confidence

BBC producer Tammi Walker and Evening Standard columnist Rosamund Urwin are out at the Park Road Lido in Crouch End, North London asking women what gives them confidence.

On International Women's Day, these women who are braving the cold to swim outdoors say exercise not only keeps them fit but also does wonders for their mental and emotional wellbeing.

"It's the freedom, the great expanse of air. It gives you a real boost," explained one woman.

"The swimming gives me lots of natural positive energy that lasts all day," said another.
