Broadfields changed my life it’s that simple!

At a time when I was experiencing my darkest moments after being diagnosed with breast cancer I took a leap of faith and booked onto the intro to cold water swimming at Broadfields.

I remember sitting there amongst people I didn’t know wanting to cry because I felt conscious of how I looked in my swimming costume after my masectomy and how self conscious I felt being in the company of people I didn’t know. 10 minutes later Jen and the team were helping me into the lake and my life suddenly felt hopeful again. I felt weightless and the pain and sadness i had been feeling melted away as I gently swam around the lake. I felt free, weightless and happy for the first time in months – I was hooked immediately.

Since then I have not only gained my life back but I have made so many new friends, men and women who are like minded people who make you feel welcome the moment you arrive. You will never find a more supportive group of people than at Broadfields.

I will always be grateful for Jenny and the team for making this such an incredible space to be and how it has changed my life.
