secret swooshy dip with internet friends

When Miranda contacted me via my socials to invite me for a dip in a secret turquoise clear water chalk stream I couldn’t resist. Joined by Karen they took me to their secret swim spot which turned out to be quite unexpected. It was a really special place for a swoosh and swirl with internet friends.

I love spending time in, on or near blue spaces (water). There's plenty of ideas to awaken your blue mind with the Bluetonic winter challenge that I co-wrote: https://www.bluetonic.org.uk/winterch...

Based on the 5 ways to wellbeing, this challenge is a treat to the senses, it is designed to help you look after your mental health over the winter months when it is easy to get a bit sluggish and lack motivation. I am proud to be an ambassador for Bluetonic, a charity which focuses on creating opportunities to get people out into blue spaces to nourish their blue mind.

Join us over the winter months for some inspiration in blue spaces!

All proceeds will go to the Bluetonic charity, so make a difference to your life and to the lives of others who need support to access blue spaces.

The challenge runs from 29th October 2023 to 31st March 2024. Complete 1 challenge a week

For a £10 (£12 outside the UK) donation you will receive your:
‘Awaken your blue mind’ e-journal
List of 80 challenges
Access to our free Facebook group
And when you finish, your badge.

This year, there are even more challenges to keep you motivated over the winter months. You don't even need to like cold water swimming to take part - just be up for a challenge. Some are active, others are creative or mindful.

There is something for everyone. Why not have the whole family take part? There is a family donation for £20.
