Just keep Swimming……

I was delighted to feature on Ripple Effect Ireland’s Instagram community page in a feature where they chat to sea swimmers from everywhere. 🙂 How do you feel when you have been for a sea swim? I feel delighted I did it, especially in the winter months. I like challenges and this has been […]
Me and the Sea

My car is promptly parked and I hop out, backpack swung on my back with my flask tucked inside along with my swimming clothes.  The first thing I do is breathe in the fresh air. My ear pods are in and the radio on, I always listen to The Ryan Tubridy Show, most mornings. I […]
