Couch to Coldwater Series Description
GET READY FOR THE WOMEN’S WAVE!! 🌊 The Couch 2 Coldwater Series is a fun 3-week series designed for the coldwater curious and folks looking for a little guidance as we head into the Women’s Wave! Led by the Two Maine Mermaids, Ebb (Kelsy) and Flow (Caitlin), the series aims to help individuals experience the benefits of coldwater dipping while building confidence and a sense of community. The program includes a kickoff video where we give our best tips, tricks, and dip kit list before our weekly in-person coldwater dips. Each week we focus on gradually acclimating to the cold water and understanding the physiological and psychological aspects of the practice. At the end of the 3 weeks you’ll have new dip friends and be confident in your ability to walk into the ocean (or any body of water) at any time of year! Key Details: Dip Guides: Kelsy and Caitlin (aka Ebb & Flow) of Two Maine Mermaids In-Person Dips: Thursdays at 7am EST - 2/4, 2/11, 2/18 Location: South Portland Week One: Toes & Ankles - Introduction to the process, breath exploration, and understanding the concept of the window of tolerance. Week Two: Knees & Hips - Exploring the physiological aspects of cold water swimming, including the vascular system and pain receptors. Week Three: All In!- Full engagement with the practice, focusing on confidence and understanding individual responses to cold water. Celebrate the culmination of this journey, embracing the experience of becoming a cold water dipper! The series aims to provide a supportive and educational experience for individuals interested in exploring cold water swimming. We’re going to give you all the tips, tricks, and tactics we’ve collected along the way. Participants are encouraged to join with friends or meet new people during the small group dip experiences.
