Coasteering, Sea Swimming & Snorkelling

Why Coasteering, Sea Swimming & Snorkelling?

Students can immerse themselves in the adventure and beauty of the ocean through coasteering, sea swimming, and snorkelling. These activities offer a wealth of benefits

• Mood Enhancement: Cold water swimming is known to boost mood and may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. The experience can trigger the release of endorphins, leading to feelings of euphoria often referred to as a “post-swim high”.
• Stress Reduction: Immersion in cold water can reduce stress levels and improve resilience to stressors. This may be due to the physiological responses to cold exposure, which can help regulate stress hormones.
• Mindfulness and Connection to Nature: Many swimmers report a heightened sense of mindfulness and connection to nature while swimming outdoors, which can contribute to overall well-being and mental clarity.
• Explore Nature: Encourage curiosity and discover hidden coves, caves, and stunning marine environments.
