Christmas Day Swim - 'It's An Irish Thing' greeting card

Join thousands of Irish adventurers in celebrating one of Ireland's most exhilarating traditions. Christmas Day Swim brings communities together along our stunning coastlines—from Dublin's iconic Forty Foot to Cork's Myrtleville Beach, Kerry's Fenit, and Galway's Blackrock diving tower. Whether you embrace the festive spirit in full Christmas attire or opt for traditional swimwear with protective gloves and booties, this unforgettable plunge into the sea creates lasting memories. Experience the camaraderie as swimmers gather for pre-swim encouragement and post-swim warmth, complete with hot drinks and toddies to chase away the chill. It's more than a swim—it's an Irish rite of passage.
