I swim each Xmas day for Laura Lynn foundation. I was wondering is there an Xmas swim in the area? I generally go to Skerries, closer to home would be great.

There is a swim (dip) taking place at 11am Christmas morning on Donabate Beach; hopefully raising awareness of the Donabate Portrane Swimming Pool Project (www.dpcswim.com). Its just informal this year....bit of fun.....the more the merrier. All going well it might become an organised annual event.

Organised too late for me to get beach gorgeous, so I'll be sucking it in.

Cheers for that. Donabate it is then.

Hi Minidigger,

Only saw your post now.
A few of us have been swimming at tower bay Portrane the last number of years.
usually around 20 or so of us brave the cold!!

We don't do it for any cause or that so I'd say go to Donabate beach to support the cause, people power!!
Not sure what the tides are like for tomorrow but the beach up the tower is perfect for a quick run in and out!
whether the tide is in or out, you do not have to go more than 20 feet to the water.

Newtboy... I will say it to the powers that be about moving our swim to Donabate but it has been going for many years down the tower so...

Either way I hope your swim is a success and you get a crowd out.

Enjoy your day.

Hi,
Swim on Donabate beach tomorrow is at 11am opposite Balcarrack Golf course access.....so a bit up the beach......about 5 minutes.

Best of luck with it. Looks as though the weather will be much better than today.
