7c, 30 minutes of chilled bliss in the peace an quiet of the beautiful thank you 🙏

09/11/2025

Just 30 minutes of my time on a beautiful, crisp autumn morning — pure bliss.

10°C water, seagulls, ducks, and the quiet space to reflect.

I’m grateful for the joy Gosfield Lake gives me; every swim is different, and every one feels like a gift.

🌊 40th Stansted Community Swim Group Celebration! 🌊

What an incredible milestone!

Our 40th Open Water Community Group swim today!

The water this morning was a crisp 12°C, calm and like glass, creating the perfect conditions for an unforgettable dip.

A huge thank-you to ! For their continued support and partnership, this community group activity wouldn’t be what it is without them. 💙

And an equally big thank-you to our beautiful venue, and to all the welcoming, warm and caring swimmers who make every session so special.

Cannot believe our first group community swim was on the 30th June 2022 so this will be our 3rd year and looking forward to our coming Winter swim season.

I’m incredibly proud to have set up this community swimming group up and to see how it’s grown into such a supportive, space. I have not actively promoted and advertised as we have a small group which makes our swims so much more inclusive, safe and enjoyable. All my swimmers have made this what it is and without them we would not be in our 3rd year and I am hugely grateful, so a huge thank you.

It’s a privilege to observe how open water swimming brings people together, boosting wellbeing, lifting mood, and helping us all reconnect with nature and ourselves.

Here’s to many more swims and shared moments ahead! 🌊
