Would you like to have a go at wild swimming but are feeling abit nervous?
Want to start but don’t have a pal to go with?
In this session will cover what you need to know to wild swim safely. We'll discuss what is happening to the body when immersing in cold water and how to work with it to get in safely before supporting each other to get into the water. This session is about getting in safely not about swimming any distance.
After our dook, we'll warm up in the sauna, with time to reflect on how to make good assessments before, during and after a swim and a chat about how to rewarm without a sauna. There is plenty of opportunity to re-dook, if you fancy, and we’ll finish with a wild foraged tea and homemade cake outdoors after if the weather allows. This is a great way to start your wild swim journey, warning, it can become addictive!
Wetsuits and swimsuits both welcome.
