Joined up with a fantastic group of swimmers this morning to support and raise funds for the Boom Foundation.

Good sea conditions, water temperature at 13.9c and a hot cuppa afterwards 🏊🏊

A short open water swim (300m), after enjoying a Hot Box Sauna today.

Sea temperature approximately 16c, cold plunge tank at the Hot Box was 6c ❄️❄️

With Jackie as my spotter, a lifeguarded beach (courtesy of Water Safety Ireland), and with a blue flag.

Add to this a south westerly onshore breeze, water temperature of 16c, made for a lovely but bumpy open water swim (500m)

Completed the inaugural Lough Dan charity swim this morning.

A stunning location in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.

Over 100 participants took part in the 1km distance and 80 in the 3.9km one. I completed the 1km.

Yes, the water temperature really was 21c with the air temperature being 23/24 degrees and clear blue skies.

There's still time to enter, come join us in support of a good cause 🏊🏊

Thank you to the team at the Northern Health Trust for inviting me in to deliver a short presentation on open water swimming safety today 🏊🏊🏊🏊

Here's a great reminder to update yourself on the beach flags

This is one of my most treasured experiences and memories.

I was selected to be the official ILDSA Observer for Alison Streeter when she set a world record (at the time) of 10hrs and 2mins for a solo crossing of the North Channel (Scotland to Northern Ireland).

That's me still in the water beside Freda Streeter (Alison's Mum) in the row boat, whilst Alison is being interviewed by UTV. 🏊🏊🏊
