‘Chillswim’ is organising a Boxing Day dip at Brockhole Lake District National Park Visitors Centre, which starts at 11am and costs £6 per swimmer. 

Participants – who are welcome to wear fancy dress – can pre-register on the www.chillswim.com website and turn up and pay on the day.

First-aid and lifeguards will be present at the dip to make the occasion a fun and eccentric Lake District event.
