DunkersPodcast
Cold water dunking boosts mood, builds resilience, and connects communities. With dopamine surges of up to 250%, (like a cold water cocaine high!) dunking offers natural energy, calm, and structure. From ocean swims to urban dips, dunking improves circulation, lifts spirits, and strengthens bonds. The DunkersPodcast shares these stories—funny, raw, and real—celebrating the power of cold water and connection. We chat with Dunkers both locally and afar, leaving questions for the next, creating a chain of curiosity and continuity that reflects the interconnected nature of the community. Join us
