This workshop is to introduce you to wild swimming and covers water safety, equipment, cold water technique and swimming safely.

As the temperature is slowly dropping, this is an ideal time to start to get acclimatised to open water with the safety of a coach and likeminded people.

This is suitable for anyone who wants an introduction into cold water swimming, as well as those who have done some wild swimming before, but looking to venture into swimming / dipping in the colder months.

We will cover;

- Suitable entry and exit points

- Acclimatisation

- Cold Water Shock

- Post swim safety

- The benefits

- Kit

- Cold water swim / dip

Includes homemade cake after - please bring a flask for a hot drink with you 

Price: £39 per person

About your guide:

Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a qualified and insured Mountain Leader (SML) and Level 3 Outdoors First Aid certified. I'm also an RLIS Open Water Lifeguard and NOWCA Cold Water swim qualified. 

If you know me, you will know I am hugely passionate about the mountains and cold water swimming, and bringing the two together seemed the best thing for me to combine.

I am hugely passionate about bringing women together in a safe space in the outdoors. I know first hand what it can feel like to be overwhelmed by huge groups of new people, that's why my aim is to keep these group walks small, so you can take the time to get to chat and meet likeminded women.
