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.
Suitability and availability:
Suitable for all seasoned cold-water swimmers.
Please note that the walk to the lake is over rough, uneven ground.
Wetsuits are required for this session as we will be spending more time in the water.
Session length: 60-90 minutes on the water with 30 minutes land-based instruction.
Not suitable for children.
Education for all!
