FAQS - Dip In for LauraLynn

We’re suggesting this date so people across Ireland can dip together however if this date doesn’t suit feel free to choose one that does.

Of course – that would be fantastic! In fact, we recommend dipping with your friends and family. Make sure you have someone to hold your things and take photos too! We’d love you to share them in our Facebook Group.

As part of this challenge, you will be asked to set up a Dip In for LauraLynn fundraising page where you can post photos of your dip. These pages are linked to LauraLynn and we’ll be able to see your progress. 

Visit our fundraising page and wait for the pop-up to set up a page. It takes seconds. 

If you haven’t done so already you can register for a fundraising pack here.

You should receive your fundraising pack with your free Blue Santa Hat before December 18th. You can check that your name and address are on the list for packs at any time by emailing challenges@lauralynn.ie. Just as an FYI, packs are being delivered by An Post who are experiencing severe delays at the moment so if your pack takes a little longer than usual please don’t worry. The closing date to register is Monday, December 12th, in order to receive a pack by December 18th.

• Get into the water slowly and don’t stay in for too long. It’s a Dip for LauraLynn not a long-distance swim!  
• No doubt you’ll be cold after your dip so make sure to bring an extra layer to slip into after, maybe even a hat, gloves and thick wooly socks!  
• A good way to warm up can be to sip on a hot drink, so why not bring a flask of tea or coffee with you to enjoy after your dip. Maybe even bring a hot water bottle!
