10/12 dips of December: Winter solstice! The shortest day of the year is upon us and wouldn’t be the same without a swim! Had the chance to apply some of the open water swimming techniques I learned during my courses in the cold Irish Sea and now victoriously running into longer days ahead ☀️ #12dipsofdecember #seaswim #seaswimmingireland #wintersolstice

9/12 dips of December: another weather report edition 😂 An almost cancelled plan due to choppy seas and strong winds ended with a cold plunge in one of the nearby saunas to make it count! Safety first yet trusting my perseverance more and more to come up with an alternative 💪 75% done! ☑️ #12dipsofdecember #greystones #weathertok #coldplunge #seaswim
