Introduction to Cold Water Swimming

This 90 minute experience is a gentle but empowering introduction to wild and cold-water swimming. With a blend of science, breathwork and somatic guidance, you’ll learn how to approach cold water with curiosity, awareness and confidence.

Led by Lee Buttitta – an experienced swim instructor, psychotherapist and cold-water practitioner – the session offers a rare combination of technical safety, emotional support and nervous system wisdom. It’s not about distance or endurance. It’s about learning to read your body, regulate your breath, and feel at ease in nature’s element.

Together we’ll explore:

• How the body responds to cold (and how to manage it)

• Breathwork and gentle movement to prepare and ground

• A fully supported, step-by-step entry into the lake
