Are you a Glove Dipper member, Glove Factory Studios member, or an experienced cold water swimmer looking to enjoy a Sunday morning dip with like-minded cold-water swimming enthusiasts, followed by an instructor led warm-up session, and then a delicious brunch in an idyllic rural setting?

Then this event is for you!

Helen Webster and Clare Traxler join us in the Club Room for a pre-dip briefing before moving to the lakes for an exhilarating dip, followed by a warm-up session led by Kay Skinner, finished off with a rewarding brunch prepared by our onsite café Wild Herb at The Field Kitchen.

Numbers are limited so be sure to grab your ticket before they go.

Your ticket includes welcome teas and coffees, pre-dip talk, the dip itself, a warm-up session, and brunch by Wild Herb at The Field Kitchen.

You will need layers of warm dry clothing post dip.

There are changing rooms and shower onsite.
