From water-curious to water-confident 🌊

We’re looking for two people who’d love to begin their open-water journey together — but perhaps haven’t quite known where to start.

Together with Wild Wellness and Dippy, we’re creating a supported first step into open water: private coaching in the Lake District, practical kit to help you get started, and the guidance to make those first swims feel a little less daunting.

This isn’t about being the fastest swimmer, going the furthest, or already knowing what you’re doing.

It’s about being curious enough to begin.

Tell us who you’d bring, what’s made you interested in open-water swimming, and what’s been holding you back so far.

Apply via SwimNest — link in bio.

Applications close 11:59pm Sunday 13 September 2026.

Lake District • 18+ • T&Cs apply

There’s something pretty special about swimming somewhere that sits quite literally between the pool and the Atlantic. 🌊

Bude Sea Pool officially opened in 1930, creating a semi-natural tidal swimming space right on the edge of the ocean - and nearly a century later, it’s still doing exactly that.

Sheltered enough to feel accessible, wild enough to still feel connected to the sea.

We managed a few swims here during our time in Cornwall and it quickly became one of those places you understand the moment you get in. Huge cliffs behind you, the Atlantic breaking just beyond the wall, and that unmistakable feeling of swimming with the landscape rather than separately from it.

The pool is still free to use and is looked after by the Friends of Bude Sea Pool, who work to protect and maintain it for the community and future swimmers.

And after a few laps in the pool, we couldn’t resist heading for a little taste of the Atlantic too. 💦

We also took the opportunity to put some very colourful kit from Dippy.Store through its paces while we were there 🌈 - the pink tow float certainly isn’t difficult to spot in the water.

Places like this are exactly why we love open-water swimming.
A little history. A little adventure. And a very good reason to get in.

Birthday plans, but make them salty 🌊

For Lauren’s birthday today, we swapped the usual plans for a surf lesson - with Tallulah very happy to get involved too.

Such a brilliant couple of hours in the water. A few wipeouts, plenty of laughs, and two very happy surfers coming back up the beach.

Huge thanks to OA Surf Club for looking after them and making the whole thing so much fun 🤙

A nice reminder that wellness doesn’t always need four walls.

Sometimes it’s just learning something new, getting in the sea and sharing it with someone you love.

More days like this. 🌊

Thinking about trying open water?

You’re probably asking the same questions every swimmer asked before their first swim.

The first step isn’t getting in.

It’s packing the right kit, choosing the right location and taking a moment to prepare.

For most people, the biggest barrier isn’t the cold.

It’s simply not knowing where to start.

The easiest way to build confidence?

Learn from someone who’s been there before. A little guidance goes a long way.

Small habits make a big difference.

🟠 Wear a bright swim cap.
🛟 Use a tow float.
📍 Know your entry and exit points.
👥 Swim with others when you’re starting out.

Every open-water swimmer has a first swim.

Maybe yours is closer than you think. 🌊
