Rude Health were down at dock 9 this morning for the rude health summer soaker. Yoga, a swim and then breakfast…oh and a little play with some inflatables thrown in too. What better way to start a Saturday morning.
It was a drizzly, grey start but as we breathed in deeply, stretched up our arms and loosened up with a mini yoga session the sun shook off the clouds.
There is an inner child in everyone, so who could resist playing around with some large inflatable lips when we got in the water.
There were rude health hats bobbing all around the dock. It was so much fun.
All the sunshine, the swimming, the yoga and the big smiles certainly gave us an appetite.
It was great to have a free breakfast when we got out of the water. Danielle from Rude Health had muesli pots with coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, yogurt and fruit. I had some muesli with coconut milk and coconut yogurt and a few blueberries. It was so tasty that I had a second pot and when I heard the chocolate muesli was a good option I had some of that as well. I wasn’t the only one to go back for seconds (or thirds!) and they were taster size pots….okay, I’ll admit it I was a bit greedy, but it was good.
The sun was shining and everywhere you looked there were smiles. I love being in the water but the camaraderie and laughter after a swim is wonderful. Today people stayed around for longer as they enjoyed the breakfast. There was a great atmosphere.
We all got a fabulous goodie bag with two boxes of muesli, an almond drink and a face cream.
Just before I got out I had a play on a lilo. It took a few goes before I managed to actually lie on it, but once on it felt like we were on holiday….Costa del Salford.
Thanks Uswim, thanks Rude Health, thanks sunshine and thanks to all the great swimmers who made this morning so fabulous. The positive energy was shimmering around us and maybe some of those people who walked by will be inspired to come down next time and give it a go.
