Swimming in cold water. Top tips to dip your way through winter.

Whether it be in the hills or in cold water, Jude Palmer is at her happiest when out in the great outdoors, having an adventure however big or small and with other people. Amongst other things, she is an Open Water Swimming Coach and Lifeguard and has swum in lakes, rivers, the sea and the odd puddle including over 20 long course swimruns around the world, triathlons, long distance swims (24hr Swim for Life, Windermere) but is equally happy dipping into hidden wild swims spots and enjoying being immersed in all that is open water swimming. She is endorsed by the STA to lead Cold Water Swim Sessions, works with the NHS to deliver cold water dipping on prescription and takes great delight in helping people achieve things they didn’t think they could.
