Medicinal Benefits Of Cold & Salty Sea Water

swim

Nothing is more exhilarating than the tingling zing you get when plunging into the fresh salty sea. You honestly feel alive. It is an addictive sensation of wellbeing. Gina has always felt like a fish out of water and has been fortunate to swim her way through the pristine waters of the Adriatic & Mediterranean this year. Having put Summer behind her, she was caught by surprise when she felt the urge to plunge into the icy Autumn waters whilst hiking near Marseille the other day. It was such a fabulous experience she went back with the kids and did it again!

Too chicken to jump in the sea? You can visit the Peninsula Hot Springs and alternate between the hot springs and the cold plunge pools or enter an open water swimming event this summer.
