Taking the plunge Seven date ideas that won't break the bank

There are lots of things you can do that are either free or won't break the bank.

Take the plunge The benefits of cold water swimming have been well-documented, with evidence it can boost everything from immunity to mental health. Advocates also suggest the shared sense of euphoria you get once you re-emerge can help foster new connections and create a bond. Warm up afterwards by surprising your date with a flask of hot chocolate. If you're going wild swimming rather than heading to your local pool or lido, check The Rivers Trust sewage map or the Surfers Against Sewage website and app. Nothing kills an amorous mood quicker than a floating turd.
