A special night under the moon and stars, Swimming with friends, guided by the tow float lights, followed up with some camp fire treats and banter 🙂

Doon dippers – an amalgamation of locals, Swimmer mates, the odd triathlete and adventurers who love to swim in Doon.

The goal of the night swim is the bring people, friends and swimming buddies together and we hope to make it  A YEARLY EVENT for fun

 

The best Part = the GOODIES AFTER

The hard part = setting up and cleaning up

The big buoys x 3 were strapped with water proof night lights for extra vision 🙂 along with our 4 safety Kayakers who wore front and back lights to guide, support and count the swimmers in
