This is an online series of sessions to give you all of the most important knowledge and understanding of how to swim/dip wisely throughout winter. Winter swimming is not the same as outdoor swimming! The benefits of true cold water therapy are at their best as the water temperatures decline over winter. You're possibly thinking of giving up and starting back again next spring, feeling daunted by the cold waters, but your passion for outdoor swimming and cold therapy is urging you to carry on! Or you're going out, full of excitement but without the confidence and knowledge required. Ideal if you are facing your first winter of outdoor swimming, feel unsure and/or confused by differing advice, or even if you're looking to start out as it gets colder. Improved & updated each year, written and designed by me, pulling together the experts research, evidence and the safety considerations that I have learnt through my years of winter swimming. This is not a qualification but it is going to equip you with the correct current information and skills to be able to continue outdoor swimming in a safer more informed practice. Sessions will be emailed each Monday no later than 6pm. You will also be invited to an optional live Q&A session, each Monday evening via Teams should you wish to discuss anything further and ask questions. Should you not be intending to watch each session immediately, jot down any questions for the following weeks Q&A. There will be a different focus each session. Booking this programme includes: * Access to all 4 sessions * A weekly live (via Teams) Q&A session
