What is the Challenge?

There are six different options for the Chatter Challenge for you to choose from. We have a facility on the website for you to log your dip/swim so not only can you see it rise every time you log one, you can see everyone elses on the 'Chatterboard' too which raises the bar AND it also keeps you accountable, if you need that. Stick the website on your home page as an icon so you can log straight in (we can show you how to do this). 

Cold Water Dip Challenges

There are 151 days (five months) over the season so you can either dip or swim once to obtain a Bronze Award or all 151 to attain the Diamond Award with the addition of Silver, Gold and Platinum in between. There are the same award levels - Bronze through to Diamond for each challenge.

The original

This is where you dip, swimble or dunk, in skins (shorts/cozzie) in any open water as often as you can over the winter period.

Extra Mini-Challenges:

Whether you subscribe to The Original, Mixed Bag, All Wetsuit, Iceflow, Aurora or Northstar;  you can take part in all of the mini-challenges as they are for everyone.

They are designed for a laugh and to create connection. Although we all know cold water swimming is amazing, sometimes you need a bit of fun to get you going. Every year, we add different bits of daftness to the Chatter Challenge which you can choose to take part in should you wish. This can include Cake Sunday, Full Moon dips or perhaps a fancy dress or two. 

Please see the EVENTS page for the details of dates-note that these are from November to March.

At the start of The Challenge, all members of the Chatter Tribe receive a wonderful Goody Bag which contains the most ridiculously warm and fluffy lined Pom Pom hat embroidered with that year's logo, a mobile phone Dry Bag and more. Each year is a different hat and is a real collector's item!

At the end of the Challenge, everyone will receive a certificate of achievement and an embroidered badge.

Please see the FAQ page for more details.
