About the weekend:

You will need a certain level of fitness and mobility to get to these locations. We will be walking part way up Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon, along steep paths with very varied terrain. This will include rocky, uneven paths, grassy banks and stone steps.
The longest walk is a maximum of 50 mins, taken at a leisurely pace. We want the walks to our swim locations to be as gentle and enjoyable as possible, they are not speedy hikes. We will stay together as a group, to enjoy each other’s company, chat and share this incredible experience.

This weekend is suitable for solo adventurers as well as small groups of friends. We will all be moving and swimming together, which always brings people together.

We will swim several times a day, so preferably, attendees will have had some experience of cold water swimming. These are mountain waters, so prepare to be cold.

With the guidance from an experienced cold water and ice swimmer, and a qualified open water swim coach, I can help you to enjoy this exhilarating experience.
I will give a safety talk before we enter the water, and cover such things as cold water shock, breathing techniques and after effects. The sessions will not include any distance swimming, it is more about the experience of the cold water, rather than how far we can swim. The swims are all about enjoyment and to experience the unbelievable beauty of our environment.

You can wear either a wet suit or just regular swimming costume/trunks. It is essential to wear something on your feet like water shoes. You could wear a woolly hat to swim or wear a regular swimming hat.

Please bear in mind that there are no changing facilities at any of our swim locations, so maybe consider a towelling robe, changing robe or even a sarong if you prefer to be more discreet when dressing.
