Blue Wellbeing, Outdoor Swim Course, Taplow Lake, Bucks

The Blue Wellbeing programme is 4 week course designed to introduce you gently to open water. Swimming in nature, (and particularly colder water), can be very beneficial for health; we provide you with all the information and skills you need not only to be in cold water but to help with the stresses of everyday life by also focusing on mindfulness and breathing techniques.

During the 4 week course you will:
Learn how cold water can benefit mental & physical health
Be introduced to cold water dipping & swimming safely
Build confidence to swim in open water by learning the appropriate safety skills
Learn Mindfulness & breathing techniques to help reduce stress
Have the option to become part of a supportive community of open water swimmers to continue your journey

Each session will be about 1.5 hours with 10-30 mins in the water depending on the temperature & activity for each week.
