Coldingham Brave Bayers

Coldingham Brave Bayers CIC supports people of all backgrounds and abilities to improve their physical, mental and social wellbeing through safe, inclusive access to blue and green spaces. We welcome beginners through to experienced swimmers and work to remove barriers to participation, including financial, confidence and accessibility challenges. Our activities include guided wild swimming, Wild Swimming for Wellbeing, water confidence and acclimatisation, open water skills, seasonal nature connection, women-only sessions, inclusive programmes, and water safety education. Participants learn about weather, tides, equipment and marine wildlife while building confidence and connecting with others. Sessions are delivered by fully qualified STA Level 2 Open Water Swim Coaches with first aid, water safety, lived experience and trauma-informed, inclusive practice.
