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

A fabulous event - Rich was welcoming, the weather was calm, sunset was stunning, sea was bracing, sauna was fantastic - it couldn't have been better.

A wet weekend in Wales, literally! Not my first retreat with the team, so I knew to expect a comfy bed, good food and fabulous support on a number of varied swims, undeterred by the weather. Scrambling down to waterfalls and plunge pools and a choppy swim across the lake - well managed, with everyone able to meet their goals safely. After all the rain the hurly burly of the Watkins path falls was a little out of my comfort zone initially, but I don’t think I’ll forget the rush of swooshing from one pool to the eddy in the next in a hurry. Ha! Mel and Rich always go out of their way to make sure everyone’s happy, and I’m not sure how they manage it, but it was somehow always dry when we’re getting changed!
