We are supporting the Mental Health Foundation for Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 ๐Ÿ’™

This yearโ€™s theme is movement: moving more for our mental health ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

Everyone can experience the mental health benefits of moving more; itโ€™s all about finding what works for you. 

At Swim Wild Breathe Free, we're all about embracing swimming outdoors to help improve both our mental and physical well-being. 

It's not just about physical fitness; it's about the freedom of movement and finding solace in the sea (or rivers, lakes & lidos!)๐ŸŒŸ

Sea swimming for me is more than strokes and techniques; it's about finding peace and strength in the rhythm of the waves๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

Get involved by sharing your moments for movement this Mental Health Awareness Week ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒ๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธโ›ต๏ธ๐Ÿšถ

Sunday morning at the beach โ›ฑ๏ธ Are you like Sunday morning at the beach โ›ฑ๏ธ 

Are you like me and not been in the water recently? ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ 

After a stormy few months, naff sea conditions, sewage, the lurgy to name a few. There are so many swimmers that have not been in the sea this winter ๐Ÿ’™ 
There are so many reasons why we can't always get in the cold water and Christmas is especially busy, stressful and cold! โ„๏ธ 

Don't beat yourself up if you're not swimming at the moment - just being by the water or taking a walk along the beach can really make a difference to your mood and wellbeing ๐Ÿ’™ 

When the time is right and you get back in ...

๐ŸŒŸ  add extra layers or neoprene so you can enjoy the experience rather than worry you will be too cold

๐ŸŒŸ Dip with a group, friends or with beach support to be safer, as the sea temperature will be a fair bit lower than your last swim ๐ŸงŠ

๐ŸŒŸ check in with how you are feeling and adjust what you wear and how long you stay in for

๐ŸŒŸ enter the water slowly to give yourself a chance to acclimatise and reduce the cold water shock

๐ŸŒŸ less is more - a quick dip is all you need for the wellbeing benefits, don't try to stay in as long as other swimmers. We are all different and it can change everytime we swim!

๐ŸŒŸ Get out of your wet kit and the wind chill asap, as you continue cooling for 20 mins after your swim

๐ŸŒŸ rewarm like a pro and bring all your warmest gear (love a hot water bottle!)

๐ŸŒŸ Go for a short walk to warm up if you are getting cold standing around chatting 

๐ŸŒŸ enjoy a hot drink and a snack after whilst you warm up for half hour before you drive home

Watching the waves for half an hour was a great way to start the day ๐ŸŒŠ 

You don't always have to swim to enjoy the benefits of being by the water -  getting out of the house and into the fresh sea breeze at the beach really made a difference to me this morning ๐Ÿ˜ƒ โ˜€๏ธ โ›ฑ๏ธ
