8 Top Tips For A Successful Christmas Day Swim 2022

There’s nothing quite like a festive dip to get you into the spirit of things! Whether you’re doing it for charity, just for the crack (or to escape from the in-laws for an hour or two…), it’s bound to give you one of the best natural highs you’ve experienced all year round. A Christmas day swim is definitely a lot of fun, however it doesn’t come without its own risks if you haven’t done your research. So in order to ensure you enjoy a safe and successful Christmas day swim this year, make sure to consider the following crucial tips:

Stay Warm Before You Enter The Water

Keep yourself as warm as possible before your swim, and only take off your warm clothing at the very last minute. Layers and cold weather accessories are your friend here - we’re talking hats, scarves, gloves, and a waterproof changing robe to keep you toasty and warm before you swim, and to help you warm up once you’re out of the water. The last thing you want to do is start your Christmas swim already feeling chilly.
