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.
Bring a tow float if you have one.
Set-up
New swimmers to arrive 15 minutes early for a cold water swimming briefing. All swimmers to attend a session briefing before the swim.
What else?
