Anyone else been taking part in this ?
I’ve noticed improvements since doing it regularly the last few months.
I do about 2x 5 mins sessions at home and once a week out in open water for around 10+ |

"More energy, improvements with immune system, quicker recovery from the gym and increased libido.
That’s just what I have found personally "
Sold. Wish there was somewhere near me to do it as a group! |

I follow someone on Instagram who has a wooden “plunge” barrel in their garden for when they can’t go open water swimming. I assume it’s the same sort of thing?
I’d like to try open water swimming but too chicken to go it alone or in the cold. |

"I don't do cold open water swimming as the effects of the faeces etc from water company sewage releases will likely cancer any benefits. "
Luckily we do it in a beautiful enclosed loch.. Very lucky to have crystal clear water around us  |

"Yes we do it all the time. Check out our pics and vids. It's great fun xx"
Amazing pics !!
We’ve been lucky to get a few weeks of ice round our way. Managed the sea once which was completely different |

Yes for a very long time.
My first & probably the best experience ever was Ladybower resoivoir in the middle of winter, naked for around 5mins.
Afterwards my skin was burning/glowing felt more energised, healthy and alive than I’ve ever felt and the feeling lasted for about 2 weeks.
Instantly addicted since then |

I always attract weird looks whenever I go anywhere near cold water. As I like to roll my trousers up and immerse my shins to take the swelling down. I really rate it.
I’m not dipping the rest of me though. |

After running ?
Runners don’t need ice baths or ice buckets even, just a shower head turned to cold on your shins for a few minutes after a run has the same benefits for recovery |

No I have complications from compartment syndrome surgery so the front of my shins swell like balloons. A little dip helps. |
