Love this Em, so inspiring in so many ways. I’m still barely mastering breaststroke! I can’t ever see me managing to get into cold water but so wish I could be part of this community cause I love the ocean so much and often go to water to contemplate events in my life ❤️

Hi Em, it was me. I think I had to join to write a comment but I can’t cope with more social media than Facebook so haven’t really done a profile 😂 Think that must be a default photo

Just lovely to know this is you - then I know exactly where you are in the world!! I honestly think if you find a community near you to help you feel safe in the water, it could be transformational. Cold water has been life changing for me - not just the experience, but the community. Have a little explore...

Oh thank you so much Vicki - it is honestly the most welcoming community ever. Whereabouts are you in the world? There is a group called the Bluetits https://thebluetits.co/ and they have open water groups all over the UK and further afield. I would really recommend finding one near you - it doesn't matter how you swim, you can just dip, paddle, immerse. Finding that community can really be quite life changing xx
