Mental Health Swims Loch Trool

Mental Health Swims Loch Trool Monthly Loch Trool meet ups to boost your mental wellbeing. Dips not distance, community not competition. Hi, I'm Beth (she/her).

Come along and paddle, swim, dip or just enjoy the view! Everyone welcome, this is a safe space to enjoy friendly company and time in nature. I started swimming outdoors during the Covid pandemic and found there was nothing quite like it for soothing my anxiety. Being completely immersed in nature calms my mind and I always, always feel better after a dip. I am incredibly lucky to have Loch Trool

on my doorstep; it is tranquil and beautiful whatever the weather. Swimming here has helped my mental health so much. I want to help others find the same benefits, so decided to start hosting Mental Health Swims. When I'm not swimming, I'm running our two holiday cottages and studying for a maths degree with the OU.

Apologies for the radio silence here! I've pressed pause on our swims as everyone (including me!) is busy and away a lot over the summer but we will be restarting in the autumn so stay tuned 😍

In the meantime here's some of the amazing swim spots I've been enjoying so far this summer - can anyone recognise where they are? 😁

Apologies for the radio silence! January has been not a great month so I've been hibernating a bit and totally forgot to update this page 🙈

I've decided to restart our monthly swims from March and have sorted dates for the next four dips, so pop the dates in your diaries! Hopefully the water should be starting to feel a little warmer by March (we will have just passed the equinox and days will be longer than the nights again, yay!) and by June it should be positively balmy 🤣

Link to book is in bio. Look forward to seeing you!

Not long now and I'm very excited for our Winter Solstice Sunrise Swim! This Saturday, December 21st, at 8.30 am.

Join me for a very special loch swim/dip to celebrate the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, and welcome the light returning! Dips not distance, community not competition. Come along to paddle, swim, dip or just enjoy the view and the company.

I am hoping for a solstice sunrise 🌞🌞🌞 but even if the weather doesn't behave there will be a warm welcome, companionship, fun and post dip mince pies!

Link to book in profile or on post below, look forward to seeing you there! 😍
