Cold water swimming is one of nature’s most powerful resets – a plunge into the wild that clears the mind and awakens the body.
From reducing stress to improving sleep, the mental and physical health benefits of cold water swimming are well-known. But beyond the science, there’s something more profound: a chance to silence the noise of everyday life and rediscover ourselves through the healing power of cold and the calming embrace of blue spaces.
Cold water coach Gilly McArthur delves into this elemental practice. She shares her passion for icy water and wild places, guiding us through some of her most treasured experiences including daily cold-water dips in winter, swimming in caves and rescuing wildlife. Every encounter or ‘glimmer’ offers a chance for reflection and renewal.
Whether you’re seeking resilience, calm, community or simply the joy of being immersed in nature, The Beauty of Cold offers a life-affirming path back to yourself in simple, achievable and lasting steps.
