ITINERARY (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

Day 1: Dorset Awaits!

We meet at our accommodation for 1pm with homemade cake and a hot drink, your welcoming briefing will take place before heading down to Studland Bay nature reserve, at the beach you can choose from a Swim Clinic with Swim Coach Mel or an Intro to Wild Swimming /Cold Water with Rich. Following this we've booked a private beachside sauna, this Finnish style introduction to dip & sauna' is a fab way to start your retreat. 

 

We'll (hopefully!) enjoy a spectacular sunset at our secret sunset dip location before heading out for dinner at a local eatery.

Day 2: Wake me up buttercup

Early birds will be wowed by an outstanding sunrise dip with warm croissants.

 

Later a hearty breakfast will be followed by a swim at an iconic Dorset swim location, hopefully off of the tourist track if the weather allows.

 

Warming soup and bread follows this outstanding swim.

 

An optional afternoon hike around the UK's only Super National Nature Reserve takes in Dorset mythology and amazing wildlife (this will likely involve a trip to a fire lit in a country pub!).

Day 3: A spellbinding end

Wake up to a hearty breakfast before a drive out to Swanage's Old Pier, we'll set off from a local's spot and take on the Three Piers Challenge, this TWSCo. favourite takes in an atmospheric old pier, a Victorian pier and the town quay. 

 

If you think swimming around the piers will be too challenging, just join us for a shorter version, or simply come and dip with us in this special spot.

 

Oh, and more homemade cake, of course.

RETREAT FAQ

Is there a wetsuit policy?

We’ll always recommend a wetsuit, they will keep you warmer for longer and you’ll be more buoyant. We’ll be swimming in some iconic locations, wearing a wetsuit may mean that you can enjoy the swim for a little longer than you are used to. However we understand that it’s not for everyone, therefore wetsuits are always optional.

Is there a tow float policy?

When we swim on a journey, we do require all swimmers to wear tow floats. However they are also compulsory for dips in depth. This helps us manage the group and be super visible which in turn improves safety.

How do you manage safety?

All of our Guides are beach lifeguards and first aiders, all of our swim locations are carefully reccied, risk assessed and led by guides who are experienced in that location.

Are there any ability requirements?

Our swim retreats are ideally suited for complete beginners who want to try wild swimming, they are also carefully planned so as improvers and intermediate swimmers are challenged. So, come along for a float around, or complete along and swim up to 2km per day. We’ll have at least one swim coach on each of our trips.

What do I need to bring?

You don’t need to spend hundreds on specialist kit to come on a Wild Swimming Retreat, but you will need a tow float (which you can buy when you’re here!), a towel or robe and footwear that you can wear in the water. We can talk through all the posh bits and pieces on the market when you’re with us.

Do you track distances, times and temperatures?

We try not to get too hung up on times, distances and temperatures. We are just having a wonderful time in iconic places with great people. However if improving is your plan, we can help you swim up to 2km per day. We’ll also have a swim coach on every trip.
