Please be aware of cold water shock and the dangers that are associated with this. Be mindful that if you have any health conditions that may worsen, or even trigger it. Then please seek medical advice before plunging. Cold Water swimming has additional risks to ordinary swimming.

Any of these can lead to you quickly becoming incapacitated and at risk of drowning as well as longer term physical and psychological issues.

Please ensure you have warm clothing and a hot drink ready for after
