Come and join us for our monthly free community swim. 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.

🌊 Blue Mind Meet Up – Responsibility Statement
Blue Mind Meet Up follows the OSS (Open Water Swimming Society) Swim Responsibility Statement. We are simply a network of people who enjoy swimming together, and all participation is entirely at your own risk.
We welcome swimmers of all abilities and aim to promote the many health and wellbeing benefits of open water swimming. However, it’s important to note:
-
Off Beat Bikes and Mountain Yoga Kinlochleven cannot assume legal responsibility for swimmers or anyone joining the Blue Mind Meet Ups.
-
While we love to share our passion for outdoor swimming, every swimmer must take personal responsibility for assessing the risks of any swim.
-
Blue Mind Meet Ups are not guided or supervised events. They are not led by qualified swim leaders, and no insurance is in place.
-
The decision to participate is yours alone. If you are unsure about the safety of a swim—or your ability to complete it—you should not take part.
By joining a Blue Mind Meet Up, you accept that you are swimming at your own risk.
