Why try Outdoor Swimming?

Many people say outdoor swimming improves their mental health and wellbeing. There has been some research showing outdoor swimming helps people with depression, but not enough to say for certain. We would like to see if getting in the water will help you feel better too. This is why we have created this course as part of a research study.

Who is the course for?

This course is aimed at people living with mild to moderate symptoms of depression who would like to try outdoor swimming, but aren't sure where to start. 

What does the course involve?

There will be 8 coached 1-hour sessions at an outdoor location.  The focus will be on building confidence in the water, and learning how to stay safe, whilst having fun and meeting like-minded people.
