Cold Water Dip

Terms and Conditions

Please carefully read the following terms, conditions and safety information. To take part in the Cold Water Dip you must have read, understood and accepted these conditions.

  • You must read and sign a waiver for The Wave in order to participate on the day. This will be emailed to you 2 weeks in advance of the event. You will not be permitted in the water until this is completed. If you'd like to read through the Waiver before registering you can do so here

  • You cannot enter the water if you have consumed any alcohol prior to your dip. 

  • There are risks associated with cold water immersion. You must accept the judgement of the lifeguards and following their instructions at all times throughout the experience. If they are at all concerned about you, they will ask you to get out of the water. 

  • While we at St Peter's Hospice, in conjunction with our partners at The Wave, Bristol, take every reasonable step to minimise and manage risk, it cannot be entirely eradicated in an event such as this. We rely on you taking responsibility for yourself, and cooperating with us, to help manage the risks involved.

  • The minimum age to take part in the dip is 18 years old. Children are more than welcome to come along with an adult as spectators and cheer you on though!

  • Medical Information - By registering for this event you confirm you are in good health and physically fit enough to safely take part. You must seek medical advice from your GP if you're in any doubt as to your physical ability to participate in the event. You are responsible for your own medical condition and enter at your own risk. St Peter's Hospice will not accept liability for any injury or loss as a result of your participation, but your statutory rights remain unaffected.

  • You give permission for photos or video footage taken of you to be used in St Peter's Hospice and third party publicity including on social media. If you do not agree, it is your responsibility to let us know so we can make sure to exclude any photos or images of yourself.

  • Your registration fee helps cover the cost of putting on the event and is therefore non-refundable and non-transferable.

  • If necessary, St Peter's Hospice reserves the right to cancel this event at any time due to unforeseen circumstances or unsafe conditions such as lightning or if the water temperature drops below 4 degrees on the date of the dip.

  • By registering for the event you're also bound by the Terms and Conditions of The Wave which can be read here. Some provisions may not apply, for clarification, please contact us directly.
