Planning on braving the cold water for a Christmas swim? Here are some tips on how to stay safe
SWIMMING IS A tradition for many at Christmas, whether it’s part of a charity dip or just something done with friends and family.
It can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of festive cheer, but there are a number of things you should know first if you’re planning on taking part in a swim this Christmas Day. Usually, temperatures in Irish waters are about 11 degrees Celsius in seas around the nation’s coast and just 5 degrees in fresh water at this time of year.
And when you’re getting out of the water, it’s suggested that you warm up afterwards by putting on dry clothes quickly and wearing a warm hat as soon as you get out.
