Don't be thinking of Jelly Fish. You may never see one.

Thanks for your assurance mad m

I tell ye though, was swimming open water over here last year and the sea was thick with them, no joke and they were bigger then the Irish ones too.
There was also a portuguese man o'war that killed someone down near malaga around september/october. You do have to watch but I think a lot of it with them is to do with current and what's in the water.

I swam it twice and haven't seen any. Mind you, it been stung both times I swam it!

This swim is almost my local event, only been 18km from it. I will email the organiser to see if they have a firm date for this year. Hopefully I will be around for it.

Thanks very much, man. Being from Drogheda, I'd dare say that it's my local event too(unless there's an event in the boyne that i don't know about)
It would be perfect if it were on at the same weekend as last year because the lads and I are going to be going interrailing and I hope to be coming home a few days before. Would love to swim it

Swam Galway Salthill swim last year and it was like an underwater city as I was swimming...Loads of what looked like box jelly fish, have to say they looked much nicer than a lions maine.

It is my understanding this swim will take place on either the 13th or 20th of July. Once I get confirmation, I will pass on.

The 13th would be great, the 20th clashes with the Warior Of The Sea.
