Wild Swim

“Hike and Dip” - a wild swim with a focus on mental health and wellbeing with cold water swim coach Gilly McArthur.

This half day is designed for newcomers to wild swimming in a mountainous location. Learn how cold-water swimming benefits the mind and body, how to access cold water safely, what considerations you may need to take when swimming outdoors and kit you may need to be safe and seen in the outdoors.

The swim will be complemented by a lovely mountain walk, which winds its way up a National Trust footpath following the edge of Stickle Ghyll and to its source Stickle Tarn. Stickle Tarn is a high mountain lake and here with the backdrop of Pavey Arc and other high Langdale mountains, will make a perfect setting for this clinic.

Please note –

When booking onto this clinic and completing our booking form, could you please fill in the swim medical form. The wild dip will be at elevation, so a good level of fitness is required.
