Yeeeeeeeeeewwww Who's keen for swim stashhhh 🥳🤩😛

Good news and bad news...

Bad news is the kit guys don't do loose fitting men's trunks.. 🥺

GOOD NEWS is that we still have two schaaaaaweet products available to quench your thirst for dipper stash that we can actually wear in the water 😱🙌😱 (I mean you could wear the other items but that would defeat the purpose of their warming coziness post dip....🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️)

Thus, The Wet Dippers have teamed up with our dreamy neighbours The South West Seal Pups to bring you two products - a ladies costume and men's jammers :D

Both products are now live on the Wet Dippers page on the SU website and will stay up until next friday (3/5/19) at 5pm. They are both £20

There is a huge collection of mugs at my house (not just me pals init)- can you please come and collect them? If you've not paid, pay using the link on the SU website (ideal!) or bring £10 when you come and collect them and I'll sort that out! I will start naming and shaming - I do have a list of people who asked for one so please collect- they're a peng ting work of art! 45 Dalton Street. Dip your biscuits in these mugs. Proper dipping luv

Afternoon water babies 💦

A fellow Irish mermaid is celebrating her birthday the best way possible this Sunday (17th) with a dip in Clevedon Marine Lake in Bristol. We're due to meet her around 11am so am looking to leave Cardiff around 10am. Clevedon is a flipping glorious dip so for anyone who hasn't experienced it I'd thoroughly recommend.. but then again I actively encourage anything involving total immersion of ones-self in water 👍 Let me know if you fancy a lift or if you're thinking of going in your car and therefore might have spaces.

ps. Keep St. Paddy's Day free (Sunday March 17th) as The Wet Dippers have teamed up with the Surfers and the Physios to bring you an exciting day of adventures - watch this space.

pps. here's a lush video on open water swimming that will help you escape from whatever uni-related stress pit you may be finding yourselves in on a Wednesday afternoon..

Dipper love xx
