How it started
On Sunday, November 26, 2023, Georges took his first cold swim in the lake with Alastair, with
water around 11°C. Even though he was very sensitive to cold
at the time, he felt peaceful: no stress, no fear, just presence
and pure pleasure.
It all started with a simple line: "Hey Alastair, wanna
come for a swim next Sunday?" Two years later, the
ritual is still alive: same place, same time, and yet
never the same Sunday.
Georges and Alastair now co-organize every Sunday, bringing a steady
presence and a shared invitation to everyone who wants to
discover the practice.
More than a cold swim
On the deck, it was never only about water temperature.
It was about deep conversations, real human connection,
spontaneous dances, shared joy, and meaningful
encounters.
Every Sunday became a grounding point: a physical
practice and a relational practice. That is why The Cold
Club is positioned as a community and lifestyle concept,
not only as a sport session.
