How long do you stay in for this time of year?

[Tank]

I havent been doing steady it for the past 2 weeks, enjoying my break. I was swimming in Youghal last weekend and it was cold, only did about 5 minutes.

Different ball game swimming in the Atlantic than the septic tanks on the east coast.

On my way back from Kilmac I eschewed the main road, headed for Bunmahon and took the Copper Coast Road to Tramore. Whether it was the low sun or the winter light, I have never seen the coastline look so stunning, the sea stacks peering out of the still Atlantic. When I got to the turn in Boatstrand it all unfolded ahead of me and a tear came to my eye at the raw beauty of it all.

Have you ever tried the North Sea on the East Coast of England?
That’s the boy that’s supposed to make you say your prayers.

Chilly today. Water very murky at sandycove.

[Juhniallio]

It was beautiful in Porto. Nice waves with good power. Only problem was an ice cream headache if you bodysurfed them… First World problems.

[glasagusban]

I stayed in for a while but mostly kept my head up out of the water, makes it a lot easier stay in longer. One of my friends that you know came with me actually, one for Fulvio to log.

Guillamene Christmas Day swim cancelled. Torrential rain forecasted all day tomorrow for the South East.

Got the swim in yesterday and the day before in Sandycove. It was way too rough at the 40 foot yesterday. Serious rain on the way for today apparently

Jesus, that sorted out the women from the girls.

Savage waves.

Should put this in the alright sort thread.

[glasagusban]

Pleasantly surprised at how nice the water still today. The coldest is yet to come. A beautiful swim.

[Phil_Leotardo]

Where did you swim?
I went in at Spanish Point yesterday. Savage. But fuck me it was cold

[glasagusban]

Byrne’s cove in kilkee. Was fair rough which might have helped, the water was fizzing. Beautiful. I’m looking forward to going again tomorrow already.
