Eden's Headway Team

“This is a great opportunity for anyone who might find big events a little bit more overwhelming”

Hi, my name's Eden, and I'm going to be leading a team in the Great North Swim Quiet Wave for Headway - the brain injury association. This is a great opportunity for anyone who might usually find big events a little bit more overwhelming, or if you want to take on a challenge in a more controlled environment. The music and the PA systems are going to be scaled right back, and there's going to be a reduced number of swimmers, so there's going to be plenty more room in the water for everyone. I have ten spaces in my team, so here are ten reasons why you should join!

Ten reasons to join Eden's Headway team

Number one   

You'll enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Windermere.

Number two   

The Quiet Wave will allow you to focus more on mindfulness.

Number three   

This doesn't have to be a race, we're all in this together.

Number four  

This is a chance to take on a challenge and step out of your comfort zone.

Number five  

Open water swimming improves your circulation.

Number six  

It also improves your immune system!

Number seven  

It reduces stress.

Number eight  

It improves your mental resilience.

Number nine  

Swimming is a lot less impactful on your body compared to other sports.

Number ten  

It gives you an amazing natural high.

So, if you want to join me in the Quiet Wave, sign up on our dedicated event page. I can't wait to see you there!
