Probably the quickest way to lift mood and recharge for the week ahead
Would be great to see you 9am - 11am this Sunday 8th OCT for the first serotonin swim of the year at the famous Jesus Green Lido.
Collect your new swim tracker card. Get it stamped post swim. Keep track of your progress. Earn rewards as the season progresses. And of course an edible reward for each swim - 1 length is all it takes!
Tips below if its your first one, please read so getting in is quick and easy. I will be there to help with any questions and more importantly so will the warm hearted Jesus Green Lido community of swimmers and lifeguards.
Could you help? Please send this invite to one person today. The more the merrier. They might not come but an invitation is a simple way to say ‘I care about you’.
Water will be about 16 degrees. Sunshine forecast. Sauna ready.
Infographic of the benefits below - (unusual choice for the top image - looks so warm! but the key points are sound - I’m going to do my own one in a few weeks).
Underneath all the doubt and uncertainty is a good person. That’s you. A swim washes away those storm clouds to let the sunshine in.
