International Women's Day: Women's Wave Ocean Dip

Join THE LARGEST AND COLDEST INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY DIP IN THE COUNTRY! THE WOMEN'S WAVE!

https://www.twomainemermaids.com/womenswave

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day marks a call to action to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world. Groups come together worldwide to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias, and take action for women's equality! The 5th Annual Women’s Wave is the largest & coldest celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) in the country! The Two Maine Mermaids signature event invites dippers to gather at Willard Beach in South Portland to celebrate the strength, power, and capacity of women by walking hand-in-hand into Maine’s cold ocean. This year, our goal is to have 1,000 dippers line all 2,100 feet of Willard Beach’s shoreline making a bold statement in support of women. So invite a friend, neighbor, cousin, and coworker! Let’s do this!

SCHEDULE Date: SATURDAY, March 8th
Gather: 9:30 am Dip: 10:00 am
WEATHER DATE, SUNDAY MARCH, 9TH - save the date! We've had to use it the last 2 years! Here are a few dip tips: Bring a towel, protective water footwear, and a hot drink to sip on after your dip Wear warm layers that you can get on and off easily Bring an extra towel or blanket to lay out your layers before you get in the water for easy changing post dip This event is for anyone who is comfortable centering the experiences of women. We encourage folks to dip or join us as shore support. Can't make it to this dip, but want to stay in the loop?
