The benefit of cold water immersion for the treatment of depression and anxiety has long been known and practiced.

There is strong anecdotal evidence that has shown this treatment can alleviate these symptoms. Immersion in cold water gradually reduces stress levels in everyday life and generates a greater sense of wellbeing. The sessions are designed for people who have mild or moderate depression and anxiety (the ability to swim two lengths of a pool is required).

This is an exciting, safe opportunity for you to improve your physical and mental health – we look forward to you joining us!

'Chill has had a huge impact on patients and the wider community. It has brought people together and empowered them to do something they never would have felt able to do before. Seeing the mental health benefits has been fantastic and I am really impressed with what Chill has achieved. I look forward to seeing it continue to build momentum and eventually I hope it will become accessible to everyone.'

'Chill has not only been a transformational process for patients but has facilitated peer support, self-management and lifelong friendships. The benefits have been pivotal to both wellbeing and better management of chronic health conditions. A massive well done to all involved including participants.'
