Let's Talk, Stansted! Open-Water Swimming
An open-water swimming group, sharing the love of open-water swimming in a safe, enjoyable, and welcoming environment. The vision for this service is to provide well-being support by creating a community of swimmers who feel safe, meet new people, and enjoy the health benefits of open-water swimming. The open-water community swimming group was formed in June 2022 and continues to grow. The group is not formed by therapists or counsellors, but as a peer support group, there for one another.
Hosted by: JONATHAN SELF – QUALIFIED STA OPEN WATER SWIMMING COACH & RLSS OPEN WATER LIFEGUARD.
Jonathan was introduced to open-water swimming in 2020 after a series of personal challenges impacted his mental health. He emerged inspired, discovering an unexpectedly effective method for clearing his mind outdoors and exercising his body.
Jonathan has successfully created the Stansted Open Water Swimming Community in collaboration with Let’s Talk, Stansted! He says, “Lake swimming is a wonderful way to exercise, de-stress and enjoy nature at its best. It’s calming, transformative and helps reset”.
