This is a very special session suitable for swimmers who are confident to swim 500 meters continuously in open water.
This could be breast stroke or front crawl. Come and experience the magic of the lake on Hawarden Estate, and feel the benefits of cold water therapy. You’ll be guided through the whole experience starting with a walk through the stunning Walled Garden to the lake, where you’ll learn tips and techniques from our wild swimming expert, Sheena. She will guide you through the experience, which includes breathwork and mindfulness.
Following the session, there will be a sauna session giving you some time to reflect on your cold-water therapy.
