And just like that, the winter period disappeared and this is our last Chilli Dip.
We’d like to avoid the Dover corner of Kent as traffic is a bit challenging at the moment and we’ll be there most weekends throughout the summer. Taking a look at the forecast, that leaves us with Viking Bay.
I’ll take another look at the forecast later in the week and will let you know if there are any changes to the plan.
If there are any further changes I will provide an update on here, via social media and will message those booked directly.
If you haven’t already booked in for the session, please can you do so asap.
Location: Viking Bay Broadstairs Kent.
Parking available at Broadstairs Harbour St, Broadstairs CT10 1EU. Pay by myringo. This is directly situated by the beach on the harbour arm. Meet by RNLI Lifeguard Hut (white building) sited in the middle of the beach. Water entry time 11am. Please arrive early to allow time for faffage

Disclaimer for new swimmers is here.
You can book through our booking system or scroll to the bottom of this page for direct access. If you plan to do all the swims, the cheapest option is to buy a season ticket. You still need to book, but when you click into the discount code box you will see a discount code automatically populate meaning no payment required.
What’s involved?
This isn’t training. It is a social dip. If you literally want to get in and out that is fine with us. If you want to swim a little longer, that’s fine too. We will cap the duration based on the water temperature and conditions. We’ll aim to support up to the appropriate polar bear challenge distance if conditions permit.
We’re not going to be facilitating long & heroic cold swims.
You should limit your swims to your ability, erring on the side of caution.
What can you wear?
Basically anything you want. If you want to wear a wetsuit or gloves & socks then that’s cool with us. You can wear multiple hats if you want. If you want to do head up breaststroke with a bobble hat, that is fine too, we do ask that everyone wears a swimming cap though.
You can wear any hat colour.
What else?
All swimmers will need to have signed the annual disclaimer. If you’ve already done that this year, there’s no need to do it again.
New swimmers are welcome to join this session.
