Sunrise Sunday Cold Dip 8AM weekly kew beach near lifeguard station

Here are the items I bring with me. 1: Swimsuit, for obvious reasons. 2:Towel. 3: a big coat (this helps with changing, shielding from the wind, and warming back up after). 4:a hot beverage for after. 5: a bottle of warm water to use to help return feeling to my fingers/toes if needed.

Then don't go deep. Let someone know and stay closer to the shore. We wont pressure anyone to stay in longer than they want to or to go in if they feel unsafe.

In the winter, e-coli levels are much lower because e-coli doesn't multiply nearly as fast in the cold. If there were heavy rains, I understand your concern. If you have an open wound and there was heavy rain, perhaps wait. I always recommend showering when you get home too.

No, but there are other groups who go daily.
