Gippsland Jersey Winter Solstice BIG Sunrise Cold Dip

The Winter Solstice Sunrise Swim is a yearly ritual that involves jumping into the Gippsland Lakes to greet the sun on the shortest day of the year. It’s said to provide mental clarity, boost immunity, and promote overall well-being.

This yearly ritual, hosted by Gippsland Jersey, provides an invigorating experience that not only boosts physical health but also promotes better mental well-being. The benefits of cold water immersion are scientifically proven to help alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress by triggering the release of endorphins and reducing inflammation. As you take the plunge into the winter waters, you’ll be surrounded by a supportive community, and together we’ll celebrate the start of winter and reflect on the year that’s been.

The Winter Solstice is a time for renewal and a reminder of the inner strength we all possess. By facing your fears and taking part in this event, you’ll gain a sense of resilience and come away feeling refreshed and invigorated.
