Absolutely – you can start tracking your Dips the first day of December. When your pack arrives, you can wear it while you’re swimming to raise awareness.

Our goal is to 12 Dips between the 1st and the 12th of December but some people may choose to finish later in the month as we know the month can be busy.

The best way to log your Dips is on your fundraising page. This is how we will be tracking people’s progress.
For all your swims to count you need to post them to your fundraising page. You will earn your end-of-challenge ‘I Dipped in December’ medal by posting there for all your friends to see.

Of course! If you want to set your own swimming goals – Go for it!

Everyone is different so feel free to set your own goals for each dip.

Our recommendation is 30 seconds minimum in open water and getting your head wet is part of it.

Always respect the Open Water.

Know your own limits and listen to advice from officials regarding weather and water conditions.

Here is a helpful guide for water safety in open water swimming if you choose to do your 12 Dips in open water – https://rnli.org/safety/choose-your-activity/open-water-swimming

Everyone is welcome to experiment their own version of a Dip, whether it is dipping in the open water, dipping into a bathtub, outdoor tub, or even taking a cold shower, feel free to try something new for your dip and have fun!
