FIRE & ICE 🔥❄️

A magical winter night swim on the Dorset coast

There’s something pretty special about swimming in the sea in the depths of winter.

Now add a roaring fire on the beach, the glow of lights across the water, a slice of famous Dorset cake and good company… and you have Fire & Ice.

Join us for a two-hour winter evening on a beautiful beach close to Swanage, where we’ll embrace the cold, learn how to enjoy it safely, and experience the magic of a night-time dip.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to take short, supervised cold-water dips, returning to the warmth of the fire between swims. We’ll create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere where you can spend as much time around the fire as you do in the water.

We’ll also share some of our favourite cold-water knowledge, including:

  • How your body responds to cold-water immersion

  • Habituation — and how to become more comfortable in cold water

  • Understanding the risks of winter swimming

  • How to stay safe at the beach in winter

  • Knowing when to swim, when to get out, and when to give it a miss

  • Practical tips for making your winter swims safer and more enjoyable

And because no Wild Swimming Co. experience is complete without something delicious, there’ll be famous Dorset cake from our famous kitchen waiting for you by the fire.

As darkness falls, we’ll light up your tow floats to create a truly magical setting for your evening swim. Think cold sea, warm fire, twinkling lights, salty hair, steaming cups and brilliant company.

FIRE & ICE

Two hours of winter swimming, warmth, cake and good company.

This is an evening for swimmers who already feel comfortable in the water and want to experience the sea in a completely different way.

Please note: all swimmers are required to wear a tow float during their dips. Dips will be short, supervised and adapted to the conditions on the night. The exact beach location may change depending on weather and sea conditions.

Come for the cold.

Stay for the fire.

Leave with rosy cheeks, a full belly and a new appreciation for winter swimming.

Fire & Ice — winter swimming, warmed up.

DAY EXPERIENCE 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 experiences 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 an adventure with us, but you can find the essentials listed on your chosen day experience. We can talk through all the posh bits and pieces on the market when you’re with us.

Such a wonderful weekend of dips and saunas with a fabulous group of likeminded people. Thanks to Mel and Rich for great organisation and cake.

What a lovely weekend! I felt very looked after from start to finish. Rich, Mel, Nicole and McCartney are all so welcoming. Great company, food, accommodation and what an experience visiting the sauna and lake at Corfe Castle! Saturday was perfect in every way, from the sunrise and croissants on the beach, to the saunas, walk and ending the afternoon in a cosy pub. Enjoyed every minute of the weekend. Thank you!

Fantastic weekend. Rich and Mel did all they could to make it a fabulous experience. Plenty of saunas and swimming and laughs. I felt completely safe. Can’t wait for next year!

What a wonderful weekend!

Mel and Richard truly pulled out all the stops to make it bespoke, comfortable, and as special as possible. A real highlight was the nighttime sauna and sea dip at Lulworth Cove. I’d highly recommend it.

A huge thank you to Mel and Richard for all the swimbles, saunas, walks, delicious food and cake, and for the nurturing way you held the group throughout the weekend. 😊

Great to have everything in one place to dry. Gloves especially dried much quicker. Perfect for drying if you’re in a camper van too with less space to dry all your stuff.

A wonderful event, well organised, really represented the spirit of the open water swimming community.

I had the most incredible weekend in Snowdonia — a truly magical experience from start to finish. The wild swimming in the lakes and waterfalls was absolutely exhilarating, and every dip felt like a little adventure of its own. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole trip had such an energising, feel-good vibe. The accommodation was wonderful — warm, welcoming, and so cosy after a day outdoors. The beds were super comfy, and the whole place had that relaxed, homely atmosphere that makes you instantly feel at ease. The home-cooked food was delicious (and plentiful!), and every meal felt like it had been made with real care. What really made the weekend special, though, were the people. I met such amazing, like-minded souls — everyone was friendly, supportive, and up for a laugh. It was one of those trips that leaves you feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more — perfect for anyone looking to connect with nature, meet great people, and make unforgettable memories.

I had the most incredible time! Mel, Rich, Becky, Frith and Dave were absolutely amazing. So welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the whole experience.
Everything was well organised and it was brilliant to share it with a such a wonderful and inspirational group of people.
The Watkins Path waterfall experience was truly stunning. Swimming beneath those falls is something I’ll never forget. It was genuinely the experience of a lifetime, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, connection, and a bit of magic in nature.

Wonderful couple of days.
Beautiful swim locations, good support from the team who take our safety really seriously. Lovely food. Great fun.

The three days I spent with The Wild Swimming Company in North Wales were absolutely fantastic and genuinely inspiring. I achieved things I never thought I could, and came away feeling more confident, energised, and connected to nature.

The experience was made even better by the wonderful people I met along the way — both fellow swimmers and the incredible team who guided and supported us throughout. It’s the kind of weekend that stays with you.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone with a bit more experience, there’s truly something for everyone. I can’t recommend The Wild Swimming Company highly enough — they’ve created something really special.
