on the 25th if the weather is dry the 40ft will be packed, just enough room to squeeze the onlookers to get ino the water, the usual amount of will I won't I people standing on the rocks. All makes for a good Christmas morning, but as suggested bring a strong drink for afterwards. I usually have a flask of hot whiskey with me to get the blood flowing again. Looking forward to this year as my 10 year old son wants to get in this year.

Christmas day swim on in Galway at Blackrock. They're aiming for a record number of swimmers in Santa hats.

Usually a Christmas day swim in Rosses Point in Sligo also, down at the yacht club pier.

Are there any new years day swims in Dublin? I can't do Christmas morning as all the excitement opening my presents does have me worn out!
