Chill the Mind, our 8-week wellbeing course is available to join now!
We’re thrilled to share a new date for our 8-week cold-water swimming course in collaboration with Chill South Devon at Bigbury-on-Sea. The exhilarating course and challenge offers an alternative way to support your mental health and wellbeing and is available to sign up now. We will be hosting two group morning sessions, starting on Friday 7 February 2025.
Chill South Devon’s mission is to enable and support people to enjoy the many health benefits of cold water immersion and experience the transformative healing power of cold water therapy. Immersion in cold water has been shown to help reduce stress levels, increase daily resilience, and aid positive health and wellbeing.
During the 8-week programme, we will help support participants develop an open water swimming practice they can sustain for themselves into the future, whether independently or with friends old and new, as an ongoing form of self-care and holistic health practice.
Friday 7 February 2025 — Friday 28 March 2025
10:00am — 11:00am or 11:00am — 12 noon (2 available groups)
Bigbury-on-Sea, Kingsbridge TQ7 4BG (map)
Cost: £50 per person
Session overview: Welcome team meeting, theory, warm-up and breathwork, safety protocols, acclimatisation, time spent in the water, skills and activities, session reflections, and optional post-swim drink and chat at the beach cafe.
This course is facilitated by a cold-water swim coach and qualified lifeguard. Both are trained in beach and water safety, first-aid, and aiding swimmers in and out of the water. Devon Mind is subsidising operational costs, however, there is a cost involved for those attending and places are limited.
“A very powerful stress and anxiety reliever even if only for an hour. Having to focus on the sea, weather, and place gives a few moments of peace and tranquility. This course gave me a reason to leave home and do something I enjoy in a beautiful place.”
