Winter Challenge 2022/23 - Chattering Chums With Frosty Bums!
The Arctic Flappers Winter Challenge 2022/23 is Here!
We are so excited for a winter of joyful dipping, Bluetitting and connection with other wonderful people all over the world. This Winter is all about helping one another through the darker months, bringing you just the right, titivating balance of excitement and jitters for the winter of dipping ahead!
The basics are the same - complete 20 swims over the winter between the 1st November 2022 – 31st March 2023 and make them as joyful as you can - but this year there’s a couple of differences.
