Cold-Water Swimming for Beginners at JIP "Mārupīte" Recreation Park

The association “Mārupes aukstumpeldētāji” is starting its ninth cold-water swimming season and invites anyone interested to discover cold-water swimming, join the group swims, and challenge themselves.

If you want to try cold-water swimming and see whether it is right for you too, bring your swim gear, dress warmly, and join us!

From October to April, the association’s members go on group swims at least once a week, regardless of the weather. On the coldest winter days, creating and maintaining an ice hole is also a challenge, so extra hands are always welcome.

For its enthusiasts, cold-water swimming offers not only physical hardening, but also positive emotions, a chance to strengthen mental resilience, and an opportunity to meet new like-minded people.

Event program:

stories and experience from experienced cold-water swimmers;

instructions;

a short warm-up;

a group swim;

conversations about the experience over a warm cup of tea.
