@kellyweston and I love to dip and swim in the coldest waters with just a swimming costume, gloves and what some people passing by would call bravery!
Kelly & I both have 3 children and very busy lives and would love to dip everyday but with so much going on and the rivers flooding its a big ask. Whether its an ice cold dip on the Ilkley moor or a float down the River Wharfe we are game for this challenge to dip everyday in January! We generally jump in before the sun rises, accompanied by other strong women, along with the kingfishers and otters! Before any swim we have a quick debrief on each others lives and catch up on the weekly goings on. We have created a safe space to talk and feel so very lucky that we have this support network from these incredible, and all very different women.
Kelly and I feel so lucky that we have the support of other like minded women that always say YES if its just a chat or to throw themselves off a waterfall. With mental health at the forefront of most peoples minds after the pandemic we would like to help in anyway we can.
Kelly made the term #strongwomanpink, when we get out of the water our bodies are a mix of red with a hint of pink to prove our strength.
We will upload a picture each day to prove our madness ;)
Help us help the women out there that need that push, extra boost to make them strong 💪🏼
