Hove Beach, East Sussex

Our second chapter to begin Ice Breaking. Join us Sundays at 8am at Hove Beach.

Meet us on the beach, in front of Lex's Cafe on Hove Beach. We will have a flag waving, the occasional fire pit and no doubt there will be plenty of dryrobes highlighting our gathering spot. (We move to Kingston Beach, in Shoreham Harbour when rough sea conditions - please see updates on Instagram stories and community WA groups day before dip)

We will hug (or handshake!) and chat, connecting while we wait for any stragglers, normally dipping by 8.20am. We take time to pause and come into our breath, before warming up with exercises. We dip, some short, some long, but we respect the water and listen to our own bodies, each person is different. Once we have dipped, we use movement to warm up and ensure we can harness the energy the cold water gives us for the rest of the day. This is all followed by a hot cuppa, connection, chat and warming up by the fire.

Some people come for the water, some for the community, many for both. If you are new please let the group leader know on your arrival. Please fill out the Waiver form if you plan to join us and provide evidence of this when you arrive. You always dip at your own risk.

Getting There

Head to Hove Beach near Lex's Cafe. The meeting point is on the beach. Easily reachable on foot, by bike, bus or car. (We move to Kingston Beach, in Shoreham Harbour when rough sea conditions - please see updates on Instagram stories and community WA groups day before dip)

Parking

Pay and display parking along Kingsway and the seafront. Street parking in Hove is free on Sundays.
