Our Story

We are Claire and Glenn, and together we created ‘Waves & Wild Water’ to share our passion for aquatic adventures with fellow wild swimmers, sea bobbers, wave riders, and anyone else who just loves being in, on, or near the water.

We recently traded swims in the Thames for the Welsh coast and relocated to a small seaside town in South Wales after what felt like a lifetime of RAF moves and postings.

Wild swimmers, including Waves and Wild Water owner Claire, swimming in the Thames in the winter.

Now the sea is home to us, our two children and our two dogs, and also where our print studio is based. And we couldn’t be happier - it’s difficult not to be inspired here, and that is clearly reflected in our range of t-shirts and hoodies.

The creative force behind the brand, Claire hand draws all our original designs before transferring them to our clothing using traditional hand screen printing techniques and chemical free, vegan water-based inks – we never use vinyl or plastics, and our packaging is plastic free too!   

We look forward to sharing our love affair with the sea with you – check out our journal to follow our journey from the RAF to the Welsh coast. And who knows, we might even bump into you in the water… 

Much love
