Slow down and deepen your breathing and you can stay in a good while, it’s fantastic.

I am. Today was absolutely glorious. Sun beating down, clean powerful waves. Took the kids in and we did about 25 mins in there. Fucking frozen afterwards the two of them but loved every second of it.
It definitely does get too cold to swim, unless you put a suit on, which is pointless imo. January and february are the worst. But it gives you some buzz and theres a few of us that do it so its good craic. I definitely believe it boosts your immune system.*
*until the day it kills me.

If you could do 25 mins today you’d have no bother doing ten year round!
Ah today was special. Waves were perfect. You could bodysurf 20yards easily. Definitely warmer with waves like that.

There hasn’t been a proper cold snap so water temperature won’t really drop too much until there is one. It’s cold getting in and out though.
The water in Waterford and the Celtic Sea in general is colder. I was down in Kerry on business last week and went in for a dip in Inch. Water felt like a sauna there compared to what I’m used to.

I’ve not had a chance to get in in about four weeks now. I’ll get in the Atlantic in around new year. Getting in towards the coldest few months of it now.

I went in for a dip in the Guillemeine in Tramore this afternoon. Water is just far too warm for late December. No proper cold bite in it.

That is absolutely insane! You’d swear he has fins! And how long he leaves the hand glide before pulling.

I stood on the sea up to my neck a couple of days ago and didn’t think it was cold. Surprisingly warm.
