I am so unbelievably lucky that life has worked out in a way that means I 1) love to swim and was taught young 2) since last year live walking distance to a safe beach 3) joined a gang who swim weekly year round 4) took their advice and did a sea swim course. Swimming with the group has made me part of a community & built my confidence. I’ve just done 800m solo in Kilkee and feeling fantastic. Hoping to build on frequency & distance. On such a high this morning needed to share. #Kilkee #SeaSwim
Ha! Have just found my first post after joining the group

They really took me under their wings. Made some lovely friends and the post swim cuppa on a Sunday morning is a highlight of the week. They gave me home made marmalade to celebrate my anniversary of joining them.
