Winter swimming

➡️ The experience in a nutshell A series of sessions to introduce you to cold-water swimming and help you improve safely, supervised by a lifeguard. ➡️ Where does it take place?

The group plays a key role, offering motivation and camaraderie, before extending the experience in the warmth of the sauna. ➡️ The added bonus Alternating between cold water and the sauna, for a complete experience combining stimulation and recovery, just like our neighbours in the Nordic countries! ➡️ Who is it for? Adults in good physical condition, whether beginners or experienced swimmers, who are keen to discover or explore cold-water swimming further. ➡️ When can you take part?
