Wild Sub10 Club
When the water slips below 10°C, something magical happens.
The body sharpens, the breath catches, and the mind is set free.
This is the essence of our Wild Sub10 Club.
Wild Sub10 Club runs all year round and is a dedicated space to share experiences, connect, and celebrate the joy of cold water swimming. Every swim in water below 10°C is logged and contributes to your personal tally, unlocking milestone digital badges along the way. There are no minimum swim times - just a fun, supportive way to embrace the thrill and achievement that comes with immersing yourself in really cold water.
