Anyone for a new year dip?

So many people like to walk into the sea or ocean near their coast on new years day. If you are doing it - where will yours be? Will I see you down there on the day? Not sure yet if I am doing cork or Sligo but will keep you informed. Hope to see some of you down there!

My landlord swims in the sea twice a day when the evenings are longer, mornings only during these dark months. He's 85.

Away with you now trying to be the hard man!

I'll just be in bed tbh...nice and warm.

There is a couple near here, pub owners who swim in the sea every day.... shivers!

Are there any of those flat things with lines on them nearby?

I would love to join you but am afflicted by Lazyitus. Terrible affliction.

I'm thinking bad of getting into the shower, the house is freezing. The Sea?? Erm, nah..

Have set myself a goal of doing the forty foot on Christmas Day 2016.

I'm only learning to swim properly at the moment!

Might have a bath.

I can't see myself doing it in the near future but I'd like to try it one day.

If you're anything over 5'6 then a bath is like sitting in a puddle

I didn't say it would be record breaking.

Probably won't as we took it out

I might, if it's not stormy.
I usually swim every day from the beginning of March to the end of October - it's the light makes me stop for winter rather than temperatures. I missed the Christmas swim here because it was just too windy and choppy. There's no lifeguards where I swim, so I tend to be cautious.

I'll be getting in on new years day in Cahore, wexford and we'll all head to strand bar for a few beers hopefully no storms that day.

It was begging to be said.

It wasn't me!

Was down at the 40 foot yesterday. No shortage of people up for it!

Yep, it was guacamole or hummus at the new year's party I went to.
