The Dookits

Service Description

Available dates: May 21, THURSDAY - 10:00am Fancy a spring swoosh in the beautiful water that is the River Tweed? An ideal spot on the edge of gorgeous Hay Lodge Park in Peebles. With a small beach, rope swings, a mix of deep and shallow water, plus the remains of old diving platforms, it’s a perfect introduction to river swimming and a wild swimmers bucket-list spot! An introduction to the basics and safety of river swimming. The session is not about distance swimming - especially in winter. It is to enable you to safely and comfortably experience a river swim. Access Access Level - Easy. The walk to the water is approximately 10 minutes along pathway, through Hay Lodge park. A slight step on to the pebble 'beach' to access the river. Much like the step into the water at Avon Lagoon. * Completion of the Cold Water Safety Induction is required for all guided experiences. The Theory of the Cold Water Safety Induction is now available online for those who prefer to learn at their own pace or cannot attend an in-person induction. Visit Education in the website menu and select Essential Guide to Cold Water Therapy & Wild Swimming (Cold Water Safety Induction). * It is always recommended to get a medical check up before starting cold water therapy * Your booking will be fully confirmed once your medical/risk acceptance form has been checked * Tow floats required * A full email detailing where we meet and what to bring will be sent out once you have booked
