Any local sea swimming groups?

Fancy a dip in the Branksome waves? Whether you're a seasoned sea swimmer or just curious about getting started, there's a growing buzz about hitting the water together. If you're looking to join a friendly group for a refreshing swim and some local tips, read on!

Hi everyone, I (24M) have been considering sea swimming for a while now and wondering if there any local groups or group chats I could join that meet up to swim together? To start with I'm just trying to get a better idea about equipment – good wetsuit/tow float brands etc – and will probably take part once I find the right things. I swim casually but I've been interested in this for a while so would be great to find a supportive club that I could try it with! Looking in older posts here, I read about one in Branksome but this was from a fair few years ago. Thanks in advance. :)
