Folkestone Sea Sauna is a constituted Community Group formed by a small voluntary group of people with the aim to improve the health and wellbeing of local residents and visitors to Folkestone by installing and operating a permenant community sauna to encourage year round swimming in the sea.
We have a Faceboook presence which developed alongside Folkestone Sea Swimmers and has grown from a few hundred before the lockdowns to over 1400, which is a testament to the growing popularity of sea swimming.
For the past few years we have been seeking to identify a location to install a sauna. Our group has met regularly and through many leads and dead ends have kept alive the hope that our dream for a sea sauna on the Folkestone coastline would become a reality.
Our perseverance paid off when the Folkestone Rowing Club offered to let us build a sauna in an used outbuilding.
