Do you love a remote location with surprises around every corner, swimming several times a day, huge amounts of delicious, locally produced food and adventure guaranteed? Then this is it! So good, I’m doing it all again this year! And it won’t come soon enough.

It’s not surprising that this event is so popular and internationally reputable. Alice and her team have perfected the art of meticulous organisation and safety, while making the event feel fun and relaxed. After two years of lockdowns and isolation, this really was the event that the cold-water swimming community needed. A chance to compete in a beautiful place, but even more, a chance to unwind, laugh and share the swim love. We can’t wait to come back again next year 

What a weekend! The winter retreat in the Cairngorms was truly amazing. The memories and friendships made and the experiences we all shared will stay with me forever. Alice and Becca kept up safe, well fed and thoroughly looked after from start to finish. My highlights were the swim across to the castle at Loch en Eilien and the river/hot tub/sauna experience on the River Spey. We were treated to some real winter conditions with water temps from 2 degrees down to a v chilly 0.5. Don’t hesitate, just book it!
