Every Monday at 9.30am + Friday 7am, all year round
A community bonded by the transformational mental and physical health benefits of cold water.. and of course a good sense of humour and love of coffee and a good chat! All ages and all life stages welcome.
We dip, not swim
Whether you’re a beginner or a regular -all season -sea dipper, no experience is necessary. We’re a vibrant community from 20-75yrs old from all walks of life with a twinkle in our eyes and a shared curiosity for the life affirming benefits of cold water!
The Benefits
Fun. Whatever the conditions, we laugh without fail. The wilder the weather, the more fun the waves are!
Resilience. Putting your body through oxidative stress with cold water immersion helps develop a nervous system that is resilient to stress.
Connection. You’ll meet some incredible people with stories just like yours, a lovely reminder that we’re not alone.
“Getting in the sea each Friday has made me braver in so many ways. I’d been reading about the benefits and finally took the plunge..now I understand what everyone was raving about! I addicted!”

How much time do I need? You can be done in 30 mins and if you don’t need to rush, stay for a coffee and make new friends.
