They certainly sound very zen.
Intimidatingly Zen in fact…
The pigs are starting to piss me off now. New checkpoints were established last Monday and crucially they’re being operated from 7am instead of 8am previously. Massive traffic jams either way, especially around 8:30 to 9:30am. The bean-garda told me today that you’re not supposed to drive to your exercise even it it’s within your 5km.
Makes sense. You fat cunt.

@Tank. I don’t think you are getting the message here. We don’t want your sort on the beaches of the Fingal riviera

I go southside just to avoid you
Simple, direct, effective. A lovely post.
First they came for the dry robes, and I did not speak out

Why the hatred from the swimmix folk for those wearing dry robes?
Leisurewear is dear to their hearts
I don’t even know what a dry robe is. I’d say it’s like the towel with a hood I have for the young one
Is the issue that the dry robe wankers don’t even go into the water a lot of the time?
They just stand around chatting in their dry robes. Dry Robe wankers.
Yeah same here. I had to look it up. Don’t know why the Swim folk don’t like the dry robe wearing swim folk.
This is a dry robe. 
it’s like a cross between a coat/dressing gown and towel with a hood.
Swimmers throw it on after a dip in the winter ocean and a few hard chaw budgie smuggler wearing arseholes have decided it’s wrong
There are different reasons for hating them. The Sandycove people hate outsiders just because they didn’t pay for the sea like the locals did.
Dryrobing is an aspirational thing all about the scene. Sea swimming is too egalitarian so they had to find a way to make it elitist. We’re swimming but the dryrobers are floating as my mate put it. You’ll see huge gangs of middle aged southsiders all in their dryrobes at the 40 foot. All identical like penguins.
After Christmas I overheard one lady in a dryrobe telling her dryrobe friends that at least she’d been swimming now and she liked it so she’d go again. In other words this woman paid €100+ for a dryrobe and she’d never even been sea swimming before. She just wanted to be part of the gang.
When there’s a real cold wind blowing though you wouldn’t begrudge anyone their dryrobe and there are plenty of hardies who own them as well.
Saw two parents in Phoenix park yesterday wearing dry robes.

That’s the middle class equivalent of wearing your pyjamas to Aldi, it should be treated the same.

Not a hatred for dryrobes as such. I’d happily wear one if I had one. I’m just not a fan of any group deciding they are the most zen of all, packing out the shelters for ages and pumping their tunes. But that’s just me. I normally swim a bit further down.
The gimps organising this shit are idiots, trying to stir shit. Yer mans insta video outside the courts in his dryrobe is comedy gold.
Okay guys you’ve sold it to me, I’m going to buy a dry robe and go down and stand by poor mans kilkee with a coffee pretending I’ve been swimming
