#SeaSwim

Running into an ice-cold Cornish estuary might look mad… but there’s a reason. Cold water can: • Boost your mood (huge dopamine hit) • Build mental toughness • Reduce inflammation • Improve circulation • Wake up every cell in your body Plus… there’s something about the salt air, cold water and Cornish coastline that just resets your mind. Once you’ve done it… you’ll understand. Would you try it? 👀 #coldwatertherapy #padstow #cornwallcoast #wildswimming #coldwaterswimming

That push! Even if it's just this today, it's enough. We got one ear... Oh, drop off! We're in! Bloody needed, needed, needed. It's freezing! #ColdSwim #WinterDip #Brave #Refreshing #EndOfWorry #MentalHealth #FeelGood #MomentOfPeace

*sound on!* Sometimes it’s just involuntary isn’t it?! Yes it’s cold but when you breathe and relax, your body will adjust, and then, it can be heavenly. Revitalising. (Just don’t stay in too long 😄) 🌊💙 #coldswimming #sistersofthesea #cornwall #nature

6:30am 🌞❄️(my) tradition dictates I document the 1st swim of the year and I’m actually fairly happy with myself for this (not the getting stuck in the dry-robe bit). It was a *little* chilly… at least I thought it was. Kudos to the people who do this all year round !!

Cold Water Conversations | Episode 3 of 5 ❄️ What keeps you coming back, even on the hardest days? For some, it’s training for a championship. For others, it’s the friendships built in the water… and the coffee and cake waiting afterwards. ☕🍰 Thinking of giving it a go?

There's something about swimming in the sea when it's raining 🌧 💙 Definitely warming up a tiny bit now. We had a little pigeon friend watching us dip today. 🕊 Cold Water swimming has so many benefits, the one I'm hoping for help with currently is chronic pain relief. I'm on heavy duty pain pills and it's not touching it so hoping the sea can help. #coldwaterswimming #newquay #coldwaterimmersion #naturalpainrelief @proaquaz @peth.store @sixfootandclean @daisyscoldwatersurfcream @kernowmassage

Penzance sea front looking spectacular in the sun this morning. Few swimmers out, coffee van open on the prom…all is right with the world! We’ll probably start looking at offering swimming services within the next couple of weeks.

Back in the sea for my first dip of the year, I checked to be sure it was clean beforehand, we’ve had a lot of issues in these parts on the south coast with unclean water! You may have watched the tv show Dirty Business on channel 4 aboht the shocking water sewage scandals, a real eye opener. Hopefully now there’ll be many opportunities to enjoy the sea that’s so close to where I live until winter sets in again. I can honestly say even two minutes in the water can make a big difference to your mood and energy. If it’s something you’ve been thinking about ( and safe to do so) I would really urge you to give it a go, no expectations or pressure just begin with submerging your body then get back out, you’ll probably find like I did you want to go straight back in for another dunk! There’s so much information out there to support you so I say do it and don’t worry for a moment what passers by or anyone else thinks, they probably wish they were brave enough to do it 😆 🌊 ☀️ #seaswimming #coldwaterswimming #mentalhealth #brightonandhove #channel4

Struggling a bit with my mental health at the mo. Took time out for a 15 minute walk along the seafront this morning. So lucky to live close to the sea. Time spent outside in nature is never wasted 💙 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #takeabreak
