Special New Dippers session on Wednesday 27 May 11am Silversands.

Experienced dippers also welcome to come along to support the newbies.

I’m going to try and run more daytime dips over the coming months.

There will also be some evening dips (usually a Thursday). I’ll try to get dates and times up in the next few days.

Next dip is Sunday 24 May 9am at Silversands.

Weather is looking good so hope to see as many people there as possible.

I was listening to an Audiobook the other day and I heard a quote by Mark Twain which resonated with me ‘the two most important days in your life are the day you’re born and the day you find out why.’

The second half of the quote wasn’t what I expected but it did link into a conversation I recently had with my mum. She told me I’d missed a trick with the increase in cold water therapists and the opportunity to turn what I love into a business.

There are 2 reasons why I haven’t done this.

1. I feel if I turned my hobby into a business it wouldn’t be a hobby anymore and on my track record I’d get bored and give up.

2. I also feel that it’s important that this group is free and available to everyone. I’m not criticising anyone who does this as a business but the group started out free and should remain that way.

I lost count a long time ago how many people have joined me in this experience, some have stayed, some pop in now and again, some swim or dip elsewhere and I imagine it just wasn’t for others or time constraints have made it difficult to get back.

I know the group has helped a lot of people in different ways and as long as I can go on helping I will continue what I’m doing.

They say that people who have been through the storm are the best teachers or mentors because they believe in what they have accomplished and know that no matter how dark things become there is light and the end of the tunnel, even if you don’t believe it at the time.

Ad hoc dip
Thursday 21 May 7pm Silversands.
Dedicated first time dippers session included so come along and join us.

14/05/2026

Next dip is Sunday 17 May 4pm at Silversands.

We are pleased to announce that we will be joined by some of the ladies from Women Who Wander. They are aware this is a mixed group so no changes from our end.

This would be an ideal time for anyone who wants to give cold water dipping a go to come along and join the group.

Hope to see as many people as possible on Sunday.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a gentle reminder that your mental well-being matters just as much as your physical health. Take time to check in with yourself, extend grace to others, and remember that it’s okay to not be okay. You’re not alone, and there is strength in reaching out, speaking up, and taking care of your mind.🩷🧡🩷

May is .
Although we speak about Mental Health every single day here, and we encourage others to do the same, this month is important for us to raise awareness and speak up.

💚 1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts
💚 1 in 14 people self-harm
💚 1 in 15 people attempt su***de.
💚 1 in 5 young people (age 13-18) has or will develop a mental illness in their lifetime.
💚 Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
💚 Common signs of mental health issues include: extreme mood swings, changes in eating habits, excessive worrying or fear, problems concentrating, and avoiding friends or social activities.

Sending love to anyone who struggles every single day, not just throughout one month. We see you always! 💚

You’ve seen the posts, thought I really fancy that, bought the stuff but haven’t come along yet. This is your sign to pop along to Silversands 3pm tomorrow and join us for our weekly dip. We’re not about competition, just a bunch of people happy to celebrate your first dip with you and of course the obligatory cuppa and biscuit afterwards.
