The Urge To Submerge® T-Shirt | Urge to Submerge Wild Swimming Tee

Water spotted.

Temperature questionable.

Common sense ignored.

The Urge To Submerge® has struck again.

The Urge To Submerge® T-Shirt from the Kimmer Wild Swimmer Collection by Baaad Flockers® celebrates that irresistible feeling every wild swimmer understands.

You see a lake.

A river.

The sea.

Maybe something that looks absolutely freezing.

And suddenly...

You need to get in.

Featuring Kimmer the Wild Swimmer in Cookie’s original hand-drawn artwork, this funny wild swimming t-shirt captures the freedom, fun and slightly addictive nature of swimming outdoors.

For cold water swimmers who know that sometimes the best answer to almost anything is:

Go for a dip.

Made for Wild Swimmers

Wild swimmers understand the urge.

Everyone else thinks you’ve lost the plot.

The Urge To Submerge® T-Shirt is made for:

• Wild swimmers
• Open water swimmers
• Cold water swimmers
• Sea swimmers
• Lake swimmers
• River swimmers
• Ice swimmers
• Outdoor swimming groups
• Swim club members
• People who consider cold water perfectly reasonable

Once you know the feeling...

you know.

What Is the Urge To Submerge®?

It can happen anywhere.

Driving past a lake.

Walking along the coast.

Spotting a river.

Seeing somebody else swimming.

Suddenly your brain says:

“I could get in there.”

Never mind the weather.

Never mind the temperature.

Never mind that everyone else is wearing coats.

The Urge To Submerge® is real.

And Kimmer understands it completely.

Featuring Kimmer the Wild Swimmer

The Kimmer Collection celebrates the freedom, friendship and adventure found in outdoor swimming.

Kimmer is the swimmer who:

Gets in.

Gets cold.

Gets out.

Has a hot drink.

Then immediately starts discussing the next swim.

Sound familiar?

The Urge To Submerge® design captures that wonderfully addictive relationship wild swimmers have with the water.

Part of the Kimmer Wild Swimmer Collection

The Kimmer Collection has been created specifically around the wild swimming community and the characters, experiences and humour that surround it.

It celebrates:

• Open water adventures
• Cold water swimming
• Friendship
• Nature
• Freedom
• Outdoor life
• Post-swim tea and coffee
• The inexplicable desire to do it all again tomorrow

Because wild swimming isn’t simply an activity.

For many swimmers...

It becomes part of life.

From the first sketch through to the finished character, every design begins by hand.

No generic swimming graphics.

No stock illustrations.

The Urge To Submerge® – Resistance Is Probably Futile

Water?

Spotted.

Swimming kit?

Somewhere.

Temperature?

Best not ask.

Getting in?

Obviously.

The Urge To Submerge® T-Shirt is for the swimmers who can’t walk past open water without wondering what it would be like to get in.

For lakes.

For rivers.

For the sea.

For cold mornings.

For wild swimming communities.

For anyone who knows...

The urge is real.

WARNING: Wearing The Urge To Submerge® may result in spontaneous swimming plans, obsessive checking of water temperatures and an inability to pass a body of water without saying, “I’d swim in that.”
