FAQ.

Q: Who is Bold Waters for?
A: Bold Waters is for people ready to grow in and around the water.

We work with:

• Young people aged 16–25 who want to build confidence, skills, and leadership through open water experiences

• Adults seeking change, clarity, or reconnection through our reflective Ripple Effect Retreats

• Communities facing barriers to swim safety, wellbeing, and inclusion especially those underrepresented in aquatic spaces

Our programmes are open, inclusive, and grounded in purpose. Whether you're just starting your journey or ready to lead others, you're welcome here..

Q: I can’t swim can I still take part?
A: Absolutely. Many of our participants are beginners. Our programs are about building confidence, not performance.

Q: How do the retreats fund your global work?
A: Every retreat directly funds youth training and global outreach. Your booking helps pay for Global Flow scholarships, gear, and travel to high risk communities where drowning is a daily threat.

Q: Where are you based?
A: Our core team is UK-based, but we work globally and most of our programs are designed to be mobile, outdoor, and location flexible.

Q: Can I volunteer or get involved?
A: Yes! We’re always looking for passionate swim instructors, lifeguards, digital creatives, and organisers. Check our “Join Us” page to see open opportunities or reach out directly.
