Service Description
Available dates: 2024 Saturday 21, September - 10am - Mixed Session *FULLY BOOKED* Saturday 26, October - 10am - Mixed Session Saturday 23, November - 10am - Mixed Session Avon Lagoon in Linlithgow is a beautiful freshwater pool with a clear-water gradual entry. An introduction to the basics and safety of wild swimming. Relax and absorb the experience and your surroundings as I guide you step-by-step in to the water. Learn to use your breathing productively and understand the many benefits and safety considerations of outdoor dipping & swimming. Evidence-based advice is shared on water safety & equipment, tolerance to cold exposure, knowing when to get out, benefits to your physical and mental well-being and post-cold aftercare. The session is not about distance swimming - especially in winter. It is to enable you to safely and comfortably experience the cold. Spaces are limited so you can enjoy a safe small group experience, ideal if you have never dipped before or if you are looking to meet like minded water friends! Safety equipment provided for the session. * Your booking will be fully confirmed once your medical/risk acceptance form has been checked * Tow floats and neoprene gloves provided for the session * Water shoes/old trainers will be required ( I do not loan footwear for hygiene reasons) * A full email detailing where we meet and what to bring will be sent out once you have booked * Access - Easy/moderate, mostly flat but 1 set of woodland steps. Approximate 10 minute riverside walk to the lagoon from the meeting point.
