Dorset
Sunrise Hiking Swim Club
Walk into the sunrise. Discover somewhere beautiful. Take a swim. Eat cake.
Start your day a little differently with the Morning Hiking Swim Club, a small-group adventure combining a beautiful early-morning hike, a supervised wild swim and the stories, history, mythology and nature that make Dorset so special.
Each session takes you to a different intimate swimming location, carefully chosen to give you a new experience every time. We’ll meet in the darkness and walk together as the landscape begins to wake, arriving at the water as the first light appears.
Walk with people who know the landscape
Our walks aren't led by someone who simply enjoys hiking.
Our walking guides are qualified walking Lowland Leaders/ Mountain Leaders, with the skills and experience to lead groups confidently through the landscape.
Along the way, they’ll share the stories that make these places special, from Dorset's history and mythology to its wildlife, geology and natural environment. You'll learn something new while you're walking, rather than simply following a route.
Then, we swim.
When we reach the water, you'll be in the hands of qualified beach lifeguards, who also know the local coastline and conditions.
Your swim is supervised throughout, giving you the freedom to enjoy the water while knowing that qualified professionals are there to look after the group.
This isn't about swimming the furthest or fastest. It's about stepping into beautiful water, at a beautiful time of day, in a beautiful place.
And, naturally, once you've earned it...
There'll be cake.
Because no Wild Swimming Co. morning is complete without something delicious waiting after the swim.
