Are you curious about outdoor swimming but unsure where to start? Our Introduction to Outdoor Swimming & Safety Workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to enjoy swimming in open water safely. This workshop is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to improve their knowledge in a supportive and friendly environment!
There will be both theory and practical elements where we'll cover:
The pros & cons of outdoor swimming – Discover the benefits and challenges of swimming in nature.
✔️ Cold water immersion – Learn how your body responds to cold water, including cold water shock and afterdrop, and how to warm up safely.
✔️ Weather & environmental factors – Understand how wind, temperature, and tides affect your swim.
✔️ Water safety & risk assessment – Learn how to assess different water bodies and identify potential hazards.
✔️ Kit & equipment – Explore options for staying safe and comfortable in open water.
The Practical Session
After our discussion, we’ll change into swim gear and enjoy a short dip or swim, depending on group ability and weather conditions. Safety is our priority, and all swims are optional—you can take things at your own pace.
Post-Swim Warm-Up
We’ll finish with warm drinks and snacks, ensuring everyone is comfortable and warm before heading home.
We will be outside for the whole workshop so please ensure you have plenty warm clothes. A windproof is usually useful. Please feel free to bring a folding chair or mat/blanket to sit on.
