Free: no matter the weather cold water swim and socializing

Hi All, Let's start the tribe to fight autumn and winter depression :). All body sizes are welcome. It is a good time to start preparing our bodies for winter plunges: exposing ourselves gradually to cold water that isn't freezing cold yet. Especially good for beginners. ​📍 We'll meet at Sognsvann, Oslo, by the public toilets: link for the specific location. I will have "Cold water" sign with me. 📜 "Program": We will start with a warm-up and breathing exercises, before we head into the water (it is okay to observe too). 💡 Recommendation: to wear a swimsuit/pants whenever you arrive or before warm-up. So, that you won't lose warmth while changing, we will go into the water right after warm-up. To have an effect: we will stay in water at least for 40 sec. ​And afterwards: warming up with a hot drink, chatting with new people, and sharing the experience together. ​The event will be held in English. ​What to bring: ​hot beverage and water ​snacks ​additional warm/wool clothes, socks ​towel ​shoes for swimming or regular wool socks for entering water (it helps) ​💡 Important considerations: If you have pre-existing medical conditions, high blood pressure, asthma, or a heart condition, are during pregnancy - consult a healthcare professional before starting cold water exposure. ​No bathing if you have a cold, fever, or otherwise feel uncomfortable or if you have health concerns. ​No bathing under the influence of alcohol, medicine or drugs.
