YEARLY ROUND UP! 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️
Hey Polar Bears! We are at the end of another amazing club year and so we thought we do a recap from all of our favourite moments. 💛💛
Started off strong with over 100 people at our freshers swims which moved on to some lovely themed socials (mermaids and sirens was one of our faves) 🐠🏄‍♀️🏖️
Themed and collab swims also took off this year with our rainy yet great beach bonfire and many society collabs.🔥 What is a particular highlight was our sauna collabs with and community sauna - looking to do more next year…! 🧖🧖‍♀️🧖‍♂️
Our annual Charity Ceilidh in January saw us raise £2,000 for UNICEF Gaza Emergency Appeal and for that we wanted to thank all of you wonderful people for making that happen. If you feel like making any last minute donations please do, every bit makes the world of difference.
Lastly we wanted to reminisce on our Winter Trip to the Isle of Arran and our most recent Summer Trip to Fort William! 🏔️🏖️What a wonderful year we’ve had, and what an amazing thing it is to see this society grow (with the most amount members we’ve ever had this year!). 🤿
Thank you to all of our dedicated swimmers, Scottish waters and our fantastic committee. We can’t wait to see what you all get up to this year but here is us signing off,
All the love,
Stella and Scarlet ###x
