“more than just a dip… It’s a guided journey into the science and practice of contrast therapy..”

Open Minds Active is a Bristol-based social enterprise, founded in 2020 by Maggy Blagrove. Through their wild swimming-based wellbeing activities, they aim to strengthen mental and physical health and reduce social isolation

In this immersive workshop, the first hour will be spent on activities and discussions that dispel common myths surrounding cold water swimming and sauna usage, along with kit tips–before you get going alternating between dipping and sauna. The the lake is 1.3 m deep (most people can touch the floor), and the supervising team will all be qualified lifeguards, but they require that you’re able to swim 25 m unaided.

Join Open Minds Active and an intimate group while you ease into your day, filled with endorphins and resilience!
