As soon as we start to enjoy warmer water and some sun, the Irish weather comes back to show us who’s the boss. Sea temps have dropped back a bit – around 9c this morning – but not enough to deter these familiar faces from a return to the sea – they even brought a small new recruit.

Warm weather swimmers return – and growing in numbers.

The Bank Holiday Monday is often a quieter session, but a good crowd headed in, despite the lumpy water.

May Bank Holiday Monday.

Forecast looks a bit poor for the weekend, so swim safe if you’re going in.  We’re going to swim from Fountainstown at 8.15 tomorrow morning.

I “borrowed” this one from Gordon Adair – great shot of the rocks.
