INTROS TO COLD WATER SWIM/DIPS

The intro's are a mixture of land and water tuition covering topics such as essential safety, correct kit, pre/post swim preparation, breathing techniques, proven health benefits and swim tips from knowledgeable coaches that have embraced cold water swimming and all it has to give. The intro will empower you to enjoy cold water swimming.
