Closing out the challenge with a special one! I was joined today by Kimberly, who I met in Turkiye over 3 years ago! She was down in Tassie to visit, and we took the opportunity for a ckeeky trip to Bruny Island (hands down my favourite place in Tassie). This dip concluded a day of scenic hikes, perfect weather and excellent company. Bit chuffed 🫶 This brings raised funds to just under $1000! Thank you all so so much for all your support!

Joined by Luke again (who has been converted to the ways of ocean swimming, it seems🎉) and returned to Taroona, which is turning out to be a fan favourite spot. We were in for ages today (roughly 25 minutes) before returning to the car to regain feeling in our fingers and toes. All better after a warm hot choccy en route to the hot tub :))

Was joined by Lucy and Luke (and miss Winnie!) today at Taroona! The wind was so strong, and made the water feel freezing! We stayed in for at least 10 minutes though 🧊🥶

Seven Mile Beach today! Can't believe I had never been to this beach before!

Dip 9 was at Kingston beach, with Luke and Miss Winnie supporting from the sand. The fro-yo before getting in was a questionable choice on my part, but ya live and ya learn (was worth it). Thanks so much for the support so far! Am blown away!

This one was the best! I was joined by my lovely mum and my two hounds (Fergus and Floss) at Bellerive. The weather was INCREDIBLE given we are still in the tail end winter. The sun was out in full force and the water looked so clear and welcoming (was still 10° though 🧊). Followed up by a coffee at a sweet cafe nearby and a tip to the local dog park.

Another post-work dip for #7 at Taroona! I've only even been to this beach once before, which feels crazy given how lovely it is (despite the average weather for this dip)! Easily my favourite beach in the Hobart region. Today's felt much easier, and we managed to stay in for a good 5 or so minutes before scrambing back to the car. Have been loving my dunks with Sarah, who is also doing this challenge and had smashed her fundraising goal! 💛

Back at Bellerive with Sarah! We've raised over $1000 between us (thank you!!). This one was so rewarding after submitting a hellish uni assignment. Even managed to stay in for a few minutes instead of running straight out!

Half way there! It was just me for this on, and they're starting to get so much easier! This is first one that hasn't felt like an awful shock. I ended up dipping twice as I got out from the first and realised my phone hadn't been recording as proof (you can't say I'm not committed!) 🌼 Have well and truly passed my fundraising goal, thank you so much to everyone who has donated. Am stoked and beyond grateful 💛

This was a fun one! Sarah and I bumped into a fellow Daffodil Day dipper so we joined her for her plunge (shout out to Maynie!). Super pretty skies and good company 🌼

Dip 3 was a post-work plunge with Sarah in Sandy Bay! I suffered for this one while Sarah made it look easy. I'll put it down to having just spent the day in a heated office (and not that I'm a sook) 🥶🧊

Today I was joined by the lovely Maya, who dipped with me at Bellerive beach 🫶

The weather was not nearly as kind to us today, with the air temp being a balmy 9° and the water being (supposedly) warmer at 9.9°. 

We took ourselves and our frozen toes off for a coffee and a yap to warm up after. An excellent start to the day! 

Thank you to those who have already donated. Your support is so appreciated!

First dip was a success! 

Maximum temperatures for the day sat at around 17°, which is super mild for this time of year. I went in around 4pm, so it was likely around 14° by then. That made the 10° waters feel pretty chilly! 

According to my phone I was in for just over 4 minutes. Would love to see that time increase, but we'll see.

Thank you to those who have donated so far!

Looking forward to the next 9!
