The response means he’s set up a group called the ‘Pevensey Plungers’ for anyone wanting to join him for a dip between now and mid-December. The group has already gained more than 300 members.

Graham said, “I create content to inform people of the holistic and creative ways that I use to manage my own mental health in hope it will inspire others on their journey of discovery.”

He said people from ‘all walks of life’ have been joining in and gaining ‘amazing mental health benefits’ as a result.

On Sunday (November 14) Graham said nearly 30 people joined for the swim and a crowd gathered to watch on the beach ‘complete with a bonfire and marshmallows’.

Pevensey Plungers swim everyday at 9am.
