Informative and friendly
I was informed before the course that I should not swim following an episode of TGA. in October.
However I found Jude and Paul very knowledgeable and enjoyed the session. I have heeded their advice and will hopefully swim again at Longside in the summer.

A great introduction to cold water swimming - I learned so much and feel confident to enter the water safely. So pleased I joined in!
Thank you Paul and Jude, you put us all at ease and provided such a wealth of knowledge. It was a great morning.

Inspiring, engaging and motivating
A massive thanks to you both for this morning. I feel equipped to enter the water safely and will certainly do that now. Having lost running due to having been diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis and osteoarthritis it has been hard. I now have another exhilarating option which will also potentially help with reducing pain ❤️

Great event, which made me feel at ease for my first open water swimming session.
I thoroughly recommend attending the cold water essentials course. The information given was great, easy to understand. I liked how you were given the time to ask questions, which made me feel at ease, before having a go. It was good to then actually get into the water to put everything learn't into action. Great course, thankyou!
