Let's get as many women and their friends into the water with us to celebrate International Women's Day! Women and their friends and supporters are ALL very welcome.
We'll be collecting donations for Lochaber Women's Aid so please bring along some spare change with you.
Our Blue Mind swims are FREE community events and a great opportunity to meet up with new friends and old and get into the water together.
Blue Mind is the idea that being on, in or near the water is good for our wellbeing - both physically and mentally. So, whether you're a champion swimmer or a newbie or just fancy coming along for the craic you're welcome. Bring a hot drink with you, plenty of warm layers and we'll bring cake.

Time: 9am
Meeting Point: The West End Car Park. Fort William
BLUE MIND MEET UP SWIM RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
Blue Mind Meet Up operate all swimming activity under the OSS Swim Responsibility Statement guidelines. The Blue Mind Meet Up group is purely a network of people interested in swimming with others at entirely their own risk. We aim to be an open and welcoming group for swimmers of all abilities promoting the health benefits of open water swimming.
Please be aware:
Off Beat Bikes and Mountain Yoga Kinlochleven are not able to assume legal responsibility to swimmers or others joining the Blue Mind Meet Ups. While we are always keen to share our passion for outdoor swimming, all swimmers must be solely responsible for making their own assessment as to the risks involved in any swim. Blue Mind Meet Ups are not guided events nor led or supervised by qualified individuals and no insurance is in place. The decision to participate in any swim must therefore be taken individually; If you are in any doubt about the safety of a swim or your ability to complete it, you should not take part.
