The experience of dipping brieflly into cold water is truly enlivening! To me it is where some wise inner light is to be found glowing throughout the winter BUT there are rules to respect from the natural lore that surrounds it. Use your 'knouse' and learn what this entails.

This encapsulates a central truth in Human Aquatics and life in general. Maintaining an open sensorial connection with the world we are immersed in maximises our true prowess. Focusing on "getting' blocks out our wisdom.

Tidal patterns on Earth. Great description.

🌊 HOW TIDES ARE FORMED Definition: Tides are the regular rise and fall of sea levels caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, along with the rotation of the Earth. CAUSES OF TIDES 1. Gravitational Pull of the Moon The Moon’s gravity pulls on the Earth’s oceans, causing water to bulge out on the side of Earth facing the Moon. At the same time, on the opposite side of the Earth, another bulge forms due to the inertia (outward force) of the water. 2. Gravitational Pull of the Sun The Sun is much larger than the Moon, but because it is far away, its effect is weaker. However, it still contributes to tides, especially when aligned with the Moon. 3. Earth’s Rotation As the Earth rotates, different areas move into these bulges of water, experiencing high tide and low tide. TYPES OF TIDES 1. High Tide: When the ocean is at its highest level in a location. 2. Low Tide: When the ocean is at its lowest level. 3. Spring Tide: Extra high and low tides that occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned (during full moon and new moon). 4. Neap Tide: Weaker tides that occur when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other (first and third quarter moon).

Quieter environments matter a great deal for many people today. It is not hard to imagine that humans needed to be quieter in the past for survival reasons too....

SEN sessions coming up soon! We have 2 sessions running, 1 on August 24th and the other September 6th. These sessions will be running at a limited capacity to keep the Waterpark quieter and less overstimulating. Sessions will be adapted to accommodate for SEN participants and we will have extra lifeguards on the session so there will always be someone there to lend a hand!
