One of the great things about living in Porthcawl is that there is always someone in the sea! I wanted to get some snaps of these groups and the first group of local dippers that I was able to infiltrate with a camera was the ‘Porthcawl Hightiders Swimming Club’

Almost exclusively made up of female dippers (though not by design, Phil, the only male dipper assures me), the group have been together for around 18 months. They were incredibly welcoming and I encourage anyone local considering joining a dipping group to visit their Facebook page.

I was able to catch them today on one of their monthly themed days (no prizes for guessing the theme!) for their upcoming calendar 🙂

I found taking the pictures of them in the water particularly difficult as they kept making me laugh. Clearly a group brought together by their love of the sea but held together as a great group of friends.
