01: Water-Based

We believe there is something powerful about spending time in, on and around water. Our water-based sessions give participants the opportunity to try new experiences in a supportive and welcoming environment, whatever their previous experience or ability.

Activities include cold water dipping, wild swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and other water-based adventures.

We also work with local clubs and organisations to provide taster sessions and open up opportunities beyond Under the Bridge. Partners have included Devils Elbow Rowing Club, Trent Valley Sailing Club, The Wave Project Scarborough and Notts Anaconda Dragon Boat Club.

The aim is not simply to get people in the water, but to help them discover new interests, build confidence and connect with their local blue spaces and the people who enjoy them.
