An treas streath a' leantail Chaluim MhicIlleathain a' snàmh ann an uisgeachan reòite ann an àrainneachd iomallach. Tha Calum airson a h-uile seòrsa snàimh a dhèanamh agus rinn e liosta pearsanta dheth na lochan agus uisgeachan a bu mhiann leis snamh: anns an loch as àirde, an loch as doimhne agus an snamh bhon tràigh as fhaidte dhan iar. Tòrr dheth na h-àiteachan 's fheàrr leis, chan eil iad air an sanasachd agus a dh’fheumas snàmhadair oidhirp air leth an ruighinn.

Anns a' phrògram-sa, bidh Calum a' snàmh ann an Gleann Èite, mar a chanas Calum, 'an t-àite as spòrsaile airson snàmhadair ann an Alba'. A' ruith eadar Gleann Còmhainn agus a' mhuir, tha an abhainn làn ghlumagan annasach. 'S toil le Calum na uisgeachan fiadhaich seo a tha a’ gluasad le beatha aca fhèin agus tha am prògram a’ sealltainn gu bheil e a’ faireachdainn nas comhurtaile anns an uisge na tha e air tìr!

Calum MacLean shares his passion for swimming in remote lochs and rivers. There is nothing that Calum loves better than finding far-flung locations for outdoor swimming, and he has made a personal wish list of places he has always wanted to visit and swim in. Amongst the locations are the deepest loch, the highest loch and to swim from the most westerly beach in Scotland. He has chosen ten of his favourite places throughout Scotland, most of which are not well known and difficult to access without strenuous endeavours. As he states himself, 'I love to swim outdoors alone with no living person to be seen'. The locations featured include Loch Morar, Glen Etive and Staffa.

As always, Calum is keen to challenge himself, and in this episode Calum swims in the River Etive, the water Calum claims is the most fun for a swimmer. Running between Glencoe to the sea, the river is full of amazing pools. Calum feels more at home in the water than on dry land, enjoying these wild waters which seem to have a life of their own.
