Delightful Dorset awaits
We meet at our accommodation for 1pm with homemade cake and a hot drink, before heading down to Studland Bay nature reserve (for sea horses!) to complete a swim clinic, come to this session armed with what you'd like to improve, such as new stroke, body position, breathing or efficiency.

We'll also have a sea salt sauna on the seafront for warming and dipping, a great experience!

Dinner with table wine will be followed by a sunset dip in our secret location.

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 an inconic swim to either Old Harry Rocks or Durdle Door (based on conditions). A powerboat will whisk us back to shore in style before glorious homemade cake.

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 may involve a country pub).

A homemade dinner will be followed by our infamous Tame the Tides talk by Royal Lifesaving Society National Trainer Assessor Rich.

I enjoyed the half-board nature of this retreat, with the option to enjoy and support local businesses. The team managed the safety and desires of a group of mixed abilities really well, especially with the changing conditions that the mixed weather brought. Durdle Door was a real highlight! Thanks Mel and Rich.

Had a lovely time and were very well looked after, in and out of the water. Would recommend to anyone!

I had a glorious morning in Studland for the Winter Solstice with The Wild Swimming Co. Slightly late due to me missing the ferry, Mel stayed to make sure I could park ok. Then I was able to get straight in the sea and then warm up in the amazing sauna which is right on the beach. Mel and Rich were with us in the sea to make sure we were safe everytime. Even if they had just come out! After having a cold dip then a warm up for over an hour we got changed and were treated to hot coffee and amazing homemade cake. It was a wonderful experience despite the sun not really making an appearance. It’s a fab opportunity to meet like minded people or go with friends in a safe environment. I will definitely be doing it again and highly recommend The Wild Swimming Co. Thanks Mel and Rich xx
