Film: Just Add Water

Just Add Water is a short film by Kristian Coburn, inspired by his new found love of cold water swimming, discovered with a friend last winter in Worthing, West Sussex.

“After my first chilly dip on a rainy Tuesday morning in January I was absolutely hooked and have been swimming in the sea two or three times a week since, sometimes twice in the same day.”

Kristian quickly realised that there is a whole community of swimmers in Worthing who swim in the sea all year round, and through speaking with them and hearing their stories, he was struck by the wide range of reasons people have for doing it, and the different things people get out of it.

That’s what Just Add Water is all about.

We’ve worked with Kristian for a number of years at The Good Life Society, and it is a pleasure to be sharing his passion project.

With a background in filmmaking for commercial, advertising and corporate videos, he runs a small production company called Strickland Coburn Productions Ltd - and has produced two short drama films, too, Ivan Harlow (2016) & White Knuckle (2018).

Just Add Water is part funded by Adur & Worthing Trust Creative Commissions.
