Join us for a bracing swim at Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, Margate, on Saturday 8th March 2025 to celebrate International Women’s Day and support POW.

Whether you’re a seasoned cold water swimmer or a complete beginner, we welcome everyone. This isn’t just about taking the plunge; it’s about challenging yourself, building community, and supporting women in the arts.

More than just a swim

We’re offering a supportive program from September to March to help you prepare for the big day. You’ll have the chance to meet other swimmers, learn about cold water swimming, and discover how it can boost your mental health. Our partners, Mental Health Swims Margate, will be on hand to guide you every step of the way.

As a participant, you’ll also become part of our exclusive POW swimmers community. Enjoy monthly video calls with special guests, including artists and wellness experts, as well as tips on techniques like Wim Hof breathing.

Come and cheer us on!

We invite everyone to come and support our brave swimmers on the day. It promises to be a fun and inspiring event. Afterwards, head to the Hotel Selina on Eastern Esplanade for a warm drink and to cheer on our swimmers as they emerge from the sea.

Why swim for POW?

• Support women & non-binary people in Thanet and the arts

• Enjoy the many health benefits of cold water swimming

• Challenge yourself and achieve something incredible

• Be part of a supportive community of like-minded people

By taking part, you’ll not only be looking after your physical and mental wellbeing but also making a difference to the lives of women in the arts.

Let’s make a splash together!
