We’re water lovers who refuse to accept the sewage pollution crisis. Yes – sewage discharges may happen during October. But you can still dip safely: switch to a cold shower, garden tub, or plunge pool if your local spot is affected.
Every dip is a statement: we won’t stop until our wild waters are clean.

7. Because Abbi Said So
Abbi’s words say it all:
“I’ve been dipping for years, and I love it. But I’ve become increasingly aware of sewage pollution. I was shocked – it shouldn’t be legal. I dip a day in solidarity, so that one day my kids can enjoy our rivers safely, without fear. I want the rivers to be safe for all.
Wildlife. Child life. My life.”
This is about more than just dipping. It’s about protecting what we love. 💙
