Winter Swimming
Winter Fun Swims
Fun monthly swims and walks in different locations around the Jurassic Coast. All abilities are welcome with wetsuits or skins. These swims are about enjoying all that the sea has to offer during the winter, amongst a group of like minded people and under the supervision of open water swimming coaches and lifeguards.
Distances will vary according to group abilities and the sea temperature. All sessions will include a safety briefing before swimming or dipping followed by hot chocolate and cake and a short walk to warm up afterwards. Often we will walk a bit further to access different swim spots that you might not go to otherwise. These swims are designed to encourage you to keep swimming through the slightly less inviting winter months.

Winter Retreat on Brownsea Island
Start your winter swimming off in style on the idyllic and secluded Brownsea Island. Cosy evenings by the fire, hearty homemade vegetarian cooking, fun dips and bracing nature walks to warm up with.
There will be yoga sessions inside looking out over the stunning sea view, or outside if the weather is kind. The swims will be fun short swims, to encourage you to get used to the colder water in skins, with longer swims available for those already acclimatised or wanting to wear wetsuits. Our forest and beach school leader will take you on nature walks to discover the unique flora and fauna of the island such as the red squirrels, who will be particularly active hording food for winter. The island is closed to the public, so this is a very special opportunity to explore all that Brownsea Island offers in the Autumn.
