Shiver Club - Wardie Bay / Open Water Swim Coaching

You all have been amazing!

It has been a fantastic adventure and I'm so grateful to have met all you wonderful people and impressive swimmers!

The Shiver Club will be closing by the end of August. Most of you might have seen that I'm going back to my roots as more and more photography content creeps into my social media and while I love my time with Green Gertie and all of you, it has all become quite a lot. Running one small business is challenging in this world, I think two might be madness :) Having said that, there is another reason for all of this: we are moving to Spain. Not just now, but by the end of this year and I have decided that I want to spend late summer and autumn swimming in the water instead of on Green Gertie. I'll be around for swimming, I just won't tell you what to do anymore...some of you might quite like the sound of that :D

Now, two important dates:

- last group session with Green Gertie: 6th of August (book through the website)

- Please join me and Green Gertie on the 29th of August for a Shiver Club send off, a little swim and a little fire :) It would be fantastic to see many of you there!

If you would like a last 1:1 to go over some things or need a pool training plan, get in touch as soon as possible and I will try to make it happen! And there are still many many Shiver Club swimcaps!

If you would like to stay in touch, which would be great, head over to https://www.instagram.com/tinebarkmann/, there will be a nice mix of swimming, art and living in Spain.

I have a new website as well: www.tinebarkmann.com and I do a Cyanotype newsletter. If you would like to be part of that new adventure and hear about workshop and things, write me a quick email to: [email protected]

I think that's all for now! I will see you all at the beach or who knows, maybe Spain...there are plans, but nothing ready to shout about just now. Stay in touch!

Tine and Green Gertie

PS: before anybody worries! Green Gertie has already found a fantastic new home she will move to at the end of August. I made sure that she will be looked after and fulfill her life purpose on Scottish lochs!

💙🌊 Open water season has started 🌊💙

And with a bang, I might add! The perfect day to start! As it should be: we went to Willie T first! That was a big Hello 🥳🤩 and just because we thought, let's have a look how Q is doing...i'm happy to report: she is doing well and was very happy for the visit 😄

Amazing swimming everybody!!!

💚Green Gertie is back! aaand so is Willie T!💛

Which means: open water season is upon us!

Beautiful clear water today (freezing, but beautiful😄)
