SEAS THE SEASON
CHALLENGE
Welcome to the Coastal Advent Challenge!
Body Happy Organisation and Coastal Swim Coaching.
THE CHALLENGE
Between 1st and 24th December, your goal is to do all things water related every single day — get in the sea, river, lake, or pool, have a cold shower or bath and match your dip to the Advent day number in a creative way.
You could:
Swim lengths of a pool for that number of minutes
Swim with that number of people
Wear that many festive items
Draw the number on GPS
Have a cold shower for that many seconds
Or something even more creative and have fun! – (that many ice cubes in your glass of gin!)
Each day is an opportunity to celebrate your body, your environment, and your spirit of adventure.
THE MESSAGE
This challenge is about body confidence, joy, and gratitude.
We want to promote Body Happy’s belief that every body is good enough — and every dip is a reminder of how strong, capable, and resilient we are. We want you to do what makes your body happy!
