The Dublin Night Swim
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. Two years ago, Ger Kennedy arranged 10 friends to meet for a night swim.
Dial forward 2 years later, 200 swimmers came to the largest night swim in Ireland at Seapoint Beach.
A swim with friends has now transformed itself to The Dublin Night Swim. “What a great night for everybody to enjoy the experience of night swimming,” said Kennedy.
“A massive 200 swimmers took to the water under our safety net. Thanks to all the support swimmers, kayakers and a group of voluntary helpers to make this the largest night swim in the country and thank you swimmers for your attendance.”
