Cold Water Dip

Cold Water Dip

What a day! A huge thank you to our brilliant team of Cold Water Dippers who braved the chill this year. Over 100 people took on the challenge and so far they have raised over £22,000 together!

Thank you to the following for making it such a special day:

  • Thank you to Portishead Open Air Pool for hosting and looking after everyone
  • Thank you to dryrobe for donating some warm goodies including our lovely hat
  • Thank you to Almost Synchro for kicking off the day with such an amazing performance
  • And thank you to all the fantastic volunteers and supporters who cheered on the swimmers despite the cold

See you next year!
