Siobhan Russell is the winner of the June/July H2 Open magazine photo competition! Looks like the rest of the world is realising what we’ve all known for a while in Myrtleville – Siobhan’s brilliant 🙂 Watch out for the magazine when it’s published.
Love Heart Swimming – Myrtleville.
Models are Caroline O’Leary and Maeve O’Connor – two more of us who know to pose when Siobhan says so! Well done, Siobhan, Caroline and Maeve.
Along towards the Copper Coast home of the Loneswimmer is a wreck called the Samson in Ardmore. Here’s a distance shot he took of it. Mighty picture.
Never content with a half-done job, Donal took to the water for some close-ups. It’s amazing what you’d see with a good lens.
Thanks for sharing, Donal. I’d say it’s busy around there at the weekends.
A man called Jarek Sowinski was using a drone on the beach on Saturday. I’m posting his video here for those who haven’t seen it on Facebook.
Not to be outdone, Glen Barton was in for a 6.30am swim and then quietly filming as the other groups arrived. Great work.

Always a fantastic day out. Previously run in June but now relocated on the swim calendar to August 20th. Get entered.
After a fantastic weekend, it’s going to be nice again today and then a bit iffy for a few days. It’s already busy on the beach, with swimmers in from 05.30 and Liam Maher getting this lovely shot.
Myrtleville, May 16 – 05.30
Liam was in with Bernard Lynch, who’s enjoying the good weather so much he’s offering crazy prices on his ice lols down Crosshaven way. You’d think it was 1979 or something – when lol meant one of these and not text-speak.
Enjoy the sea but swim safe – watch out for boats and jetskis and be visible.
