In today's episode, we chat with Tom Mason. Tom co-founded Blue Balls in Cornwall, a safe space for men to experience cold water swimming together. Tom has found cold water swimming to be exceptionally helpful for his mental health and well-being. We chat to him about his first dip on a cold December day a couple of years ago and how it changed everything for him.
We discuss men's mental health and how healthier coping mechanisms can be developed in the sea and finally, we hear from Tom about his upcoming plans for Blue Balls.
We loved getting to chat about wild swimming and mental health and how healing the sea can truly be. We hope you enjoy this chat too and hopefully, see you in the water soon!
