See the smiles from our Cold Plunge Winter Dip Adventure!

Lakes Entrance, you turned it on! What a perfect winter’s morning it was on Saturday for our Winter Solstice Cold Dip – and wow, did you show up. 

To everyone who plunged into the cold lake with us – you’re incredible. You did something bold for your body and your mental health, and we couldn’t be prouder. The energy, the courage, and the sense of community were something truly special.

Big love to Lakes Entrance Ocean Rescue for opening your clubrooms and keeping a watchful eye on us all – local legends 🙌🏼

Curious to see how it went? Check out our Photo Album to see all the fun moments and smiles from the cold plunge experience! 🧊📸.

To keep the good vibes flowing, Slipway will be serving up $3 authentic chai all this week.

🎉 The East Gippsland Winter Festival is officially underway – and this is just the beginning!
