Dip A Day was born from our community’s love for our blue planet and eagerness to help save it. Over 11,000 people came together in 2023 to collectively challenge themselves to dip in cold water every day throughout October. All to raise money for ocean-saving work, whilst simultaneously reaping the rewards of the cold water on our wellbeing.
From water-filled whiskey barrels to highland locks. Lidos to lakes. Bathtubs to cold showers. Rivers to sea dips. Our community proved that they’re nothing short of inspiring with the variety of styles of dips that they did.

Anywhere that’s safe and accessible to you. Whether it’s your shower, paddling pool, lido, local beach or river, you can get involved.
Cold water causes short-term stress, which kickstarts the body and gives you a high from increased dopamine, serotonin and b-endorphin levels. Plus, studies have shown that cold water can boost your immune system and could potentially help with conditions from rheumatism to depression. It’s not just the cold water though, it’s also being immersed and in-touch with nature. Read Tom’s story about how the ocean changed his life.
Every penny raised will go towards our ocean-saving work: helping us to continue calling out dirty polluters to stop single-use at source, challenging the UK government and utilities on their shocking sewage pollution, turning the tide of plastic by running record-breaking beach cleans, creating change-making, pupil-led education programmes, and empowering every person everywhere to fight for the ocean.
Safety first. Always. Read our safety guidance and T&Cs before taking the plunge.
