12 Dips in December

Help me reach my goal of €500

Help Protect Hearts in Ireland

I am taking part in 12 Dips in December to raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation and I’d love your support to help protect hearts in Ireland. ❤️

The Irish Heart Foundation’s mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.

Your donation will make a real difference to people and families affected by heart disease and stroke.

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

12th dip!

Tuesday 31st Dec
The last dip took me to the Boyne river where I met several fish. A few girlies from work joined me this time (they were very brave)

Dip 11!!

Monday 30th Dec
I probably owe high rock some rent money at this stage. The tide was nice and high so only 2 rungs of the ladder and I was in. It’s definitely getting easier as it goes along even if the sea is getting colder

Dip 10!

Saturday 28th Dec
Back to high rock at dawn (literally 8.30am) for myself and Caoimhe. We made friends with the fishermen as we launched ourselves into the freezing sea.

Dip 9!

Friday 27th Dec
A solo trip out to high rock today and a quick dip. Here’s a picture of the weirdly cloudy scenery. I feel like it definitely gets easier as the dips go on. In the final stages now so keep the donations coming!

Dip 8!

Tuesday 24th Dec
Another trip out to high rock today with much less wind than the forty foot thank god. It was still cold don’t worry but I think we lasted longer in there than previous days. Shout out to Hannah for getting in with us this time

7th dip

Sunday 22nd Dec
Ok so this one was the hardest yet. Almost zero degrees with wind chill, fighting off the sleet and the masses at the forty foot. We braved our way down those stairs and plunged into the ice bath that is the Irish Sea. Keep the donations coming this one was rough.

Dip 6!

Friday 20th Dec
Hannah and I went out to High Rock again today. We braved the crazy Christmas shopping traffic and in no time we were at the sea. It didn’t feel as cold today even though there was no sauna beforehand (yes I’m looking at you blondie). There were even some waves for a change!

Fifth dip!

Thursday 19th Dec
Another trip out to Portmarnock today and another lovely dip! Thank god it’s not raining

Fourth dip!

Sunday 15th Dec
In the middle of exams we threw ourselves (or took the ladder in for the blondes among us) off high rock in Portmarnock. A bit of cold water shock never hurt anyone. Please donate to the cause!

Third dip!

Sunday 15th Dec
(Did this on December 5th but again forgot to post sorry!!) another freezing cold shower today; study week going as well as could be expected. Can’t wait to be finished with exams and excited to get back to the sea!

Second dip!

Sunday 15th Dec
(Did this on December 3rd and forgot to post it) it was exam season so I had to unfortunately take the cold shower option. It wasn’t quite the same as the Irish Sea but I assure you it was sufficiently cold for me. Please donate to the cause!

First dip pics!

Sunday 15th Dec

First dip!!

Sunday 15th Dec
(We did this on December 1st but I forgot to post it!) Went to Portmarnock today for our first swim. Weather was lovely, sea was freezing! Turns out the sea does get colder in the winter, who knew? But all for a good cause, please support us in our freezing endeavors!!!!
