I had my inaugural sea swim of 2020 at 9 o clock this morning in the Guillomene. It was beautiful but cold. One of the ladies near me speculated that it was about 12.5 degrees. It was mobbed.

Where is that Fagan? Google doesn’t give me much.

It’s at Newtown Cove about 3 miles west of Tramore. Once you get to the car park at Newtown cove you go left for the Guillomene and right for Newtown

I’ve only been to the Guillomene swimming once or twice, will go there more often when the kids are bigger. A great spot for swimming

Cycled out for a swim out in Seapoint yesterday and saw the new bike lane on Seapoint Avenue. Hopefully it will mean less morons driving down the lane trying to find parking.

How was the swim, loads of jellyfish in the forty-foot yesterday from what I hear.

The water temperature was lovely but there’s a shit ton of algae in the water in Seapoint this year so had to wade a bit out past that. Grand and quiet out there yesterday as well.

I try to avoid Seapoint for that reason, it’s a fair scaldy swim if you’re wading through that crap. It’s only really enjoyable at full tide

Do you jump in or go in off the steps?

I go in off the steps. I don’t like that rush of water up my nose.

Not long back from there this evening and it was full tide. Absolutely gorgeous swim although it was a bit too busy for my liking.

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy my mind must’ve been wandering yesterday when I was cycling through Blackrock as I didn’t even notice the new cycle lane on the main street there. You’re doing some sterling work.

Low Rock earlier this morning at high tide was just splendid. Set me right up for the day.
