    I'd like to witness the madness (and secretly envy that I didn't keep my sea swimming up) on Christmas Day at Sandycove. On Youtube I've seen crowds of people watching. Is there a usual time that people go in? Thanks

    usually people are coming and going all morning, biggest crown would be between 11 and 12:30. Parking around the area is madness on the day.

    Thanks for that - mid morning sounds good :-)
    Who knows next year maybe I'll have kept the swimming up through the autumn to be brave/foolhardy enough!

    I always hear about this, and have decided that this year I'm going to do it. Is there a particular goal to do. ie swim out to a point and back, or is it just a case of jumping in and braving it as long as you can (which is not very long I'd imagine!)

    Jump in, come up screaming like a mother f$cker.....catch your breath, your thinking "What the hell am I doing"....get out as quick as you can because someone behind you wants to do the exact same maddening thing.:D
