Driffield Dippers – First Meet Up
We’re really looking forward to our first official Driffield Dippers meet up. This first session is all about getting together, chatting things through, and making sure everyone feels safe and supported around cold water swimming.
What we’ll chat about:
👋 Introductions
A quick hello, who we are, and what Driffield Dippers is all about. We’ll also go over how our group swims will work and why we never swim alone.
🌊 Cold water safety basics
We’ll cover who cold water swimming is suitable for, knowing your own limits, how long to stay in, and why listening to your body is so important. We’ll also talk about cold shock, spotting when someone’s not right, and safe ways to get in and out of the water.
🤝 Group swim rules
Sticking together, looking out for each other, and using a buddy system. No pressure, no competition, and no one is ever pushed to get in or stay in longer than they want.
🧣 Aftercare once we’re out
Getting dry and warm quickly, layers on, warm drinks, and gentle re-warming. We’ll also chat about why hot showers straight away aren’t a great idea and what to watch for after a swim.
💬 Questions & chats
Plenty of time to ask questions, share experiences if you want, or just listen in.
This first meet up is about learning and building confidence. There’s absolutely no pressure to swim — you’re more than welcome to come along just for the chat and a cuppa.
💙 Friendly faces, cold water, safety first.
