Cold Water Dips

Take the Plunge for our Planet!

At Friends of the Earth, we are big fans of cold water dips as it’s a great way to gather with our community, reconnect with nature and revitalise ourselves. It’s also a great fundraising challenge!

From summer solstice sunrise dips to the depth of winter cold water plunges, you can take on this challenge at any time of year. 

Just be sure to dip responsibly only when safe to do so and don’t stay in cold water too long.
