Mens Cold Water Swim (Parliament Hill Lido)

🔔 WELCOME TO THE VERY FIRST MENS COLD WATER SWIMMING LONDON MEET UP GROUP! 🔔

WHERE: Parliament Hill Lido
WHEN: Saturday 21st September 2024
TIME: 9am
Group Size: 10 (max)

• Mens mental health in the UK is in a bad place and there a few avenues available offering a release to ease the pressure of life, in a safe, natural and accessible way.
• This inaugural event invites men of all ages and fitness levels to experience the rejuvenating effects of cold water, while encouraging social connection and camaraderie.
• The event is designed to foster mental resilience, reduce stress, and offer a powerful reset through the natural boost of endorphins cold water immersion provides.
• Beyond the swim, the focus is on creating a safe, open space where men can form social bonds, share their experiences, and support each other in their mental wellness journey.
• No prior experience in cold water swimming is necessary—just a willingness to embrace the challenge, connect with others, and take a step towards positive mental health.
• This is not a competitive group and are open to swimmers or dippers of all levels.
• We embrace on the mantra of dips, not distance and look to focus more on cold immersion over triathlete or iron man like swimming cardio!
• Reasoning for the small group size is so we have an opportunity to get to know each other - harder to do in larger groups. I hope to make this a regular meet up pending demand, so if you miss this, keep an eye out for future events!
