Dear Swimmer

Thank you for subscribing to The Dip and being part of our community.

The Dip is one of many ways in which we’re much more than a magazine. We are a vibrant, global community of outdoor swimmers, wild dippers, open water adventurers and water lovers.

To better reflect our community, we’ve made some VERY exciting changes to our membership to bring you even more benefits – and as supporters, we’d like you to know about them first.

Free swims, free events, discounts and a new community hub – scroll down to find out what benefits our members get.

Once again, thank you for your support – we couldn’t produce our beautiful, independent magazine without it.

Simon Griffiths, Founder & Ella Foote, Editor
