It's Not About The Swim – World Open Water Swimming Association

Nuala Moore helped educate and welcome new swimmers, brought on by the COVID-19 restrictions, by providing helpful webinars on It’s not about the swim.

[mashshare]

Nuala Moore saw a gap between the experience and the foundational knowledge needed for swimming in sub-10°C water. She helps swimmers to safely swim within their limits in cold water and developed 2-hour online webinars on cold water injuries, focusing on the complex cocktail of cold water temperatures and distance swimming.

Why it was nominated

For educating the influx of swimmers transitioning to the cold, for providing how-to’s, do’s and don’ts of safely venturing past the shorelines, for helping develop a passion and respect for the sea among less experienced swimmers.

    Read about Nuala’s wonderful achievements a few years ago but a new friend who introduced me to sea swimming for November 2019’s full moon dip told me about her webinars and I watched my first one last week. Without a doubt, unsurpassed for useful, technical detail. Informative, with safety at the fore, while also hugely encouraging and inspirational. She’s wonderful and fully deserving to be rewarded here for all she does.
