Sunrise swims. Nordic roots. Cold water, warm crowd.
Straight out of Copenhagen and into the Coogee surf, Cold Dip Club is now dipping weekly in Sydney. This grassroots cold-water movement brings the best parts of Danish culture—discipline, community, and unapologetic ocean plunges—to the east coast.
Every Wednesday at 6:30am, meet at Coogee Beach for a sunrise swim, followed by a $2 post-dip coffee at Bathers Coogee—the iconic beachfront restaurant and kiosk that’s teamed up with the club to fuel the ritual. Sundays are slower, softer, and just as social, with 9:00am dips at rotating beaches from Milk Beach to Mahon Pool.
If you're into movement, connection, and cold water before caffeine, this is your kind of morning.

Who’s Behind It
Born in Copenhagen, Cold Dip Club is an international cold-water swim community now making waves in Sydney. The local chapter is led by Kash and Alayna, two ocean-lovers bringing the Nordic spirit south with a community-first mindset and Sydney’s sunrise coastline as their backdrop.
This isn’t just a swim group. It’s ritual, rhythm, and community—whether you come for the plunge, the people, or both.
