May has been such a lovely month, especially with all the new lassies joining us on our swims.
It’s been a real privilege watching them go from feeling nervous and unsure about getting into the water, to gradually finding their confidence, relaxing, and discovering their own enjoyment in it. Some have embraced dipping, others have taken to swimming, but every single one of them has achieved something they perhaps didn’t think they could when they first turned up.
One of the best parts has been seeing new friendships form. There’s plenty of laughter, encouragement, and of course the ongoing challenge of remembering everyone’s names – although, to be fair, we’re all at that menopausal age now, so we give ourselves a pass on that one! 🤣
What I love most is seeing them fully embrace wild swimming and all its addictive qualities. The sense of achievement, the connection with nature, the post-swim buzz, and the smiles that appear after every dip. It’s amazing to watch their confidence grow week by week.
Seeing them go from apprehensive to absolutely loving it has been such a joy. They’ve discovered what so many of us already know – that wild swimming has a way of getting under your skin. And now they love, love, LOVE it too! 💜🧜♀️
