This might be a short dip, a paddle, or a gentle swim. Many people find being in the sea and fresh air helps them feel calmer, refreshed, and more energised. Please note this is an outdoor swimming course for "well-being" and not a learn to swim course or learn open water swimming skills although you will learn about safety before, during and after their dips. Why take part? 1) Physical benefits: Gentle movement in the water will strengthen your heart, lungs, joints, muscles and whilst supporting weight management goals. 2) Mental benefits: Many people report an increase in mood, a reduction in stress, and a sense of wellbeing after outdoor swimming. It may also reduce the number of visits to a medical professional regarding mental health. 3) Social benefits: Friendships are made through a common interest without prejudice or judgement. In a friendly and supportive community there is always lots of chat, laughter, tea and cake! Who will be there? Your sessions are guided by Bekki and Lesley, our fully qualified open water swim coaches. With a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for outdoor swimming, they are keen to show you how to take part in a safe way. The course is for Hayling Island residents only
