“SURE IT’S NOT that cold at all this Christmas”, you might be saying to yourself.
Would you be saying that if you were jumping into the sea at the 40 Foot in Sandycove in your togs today?
Here are some of the brave souls who went for a dip:

Thank God the 40 Footer is the only place that holds a Christmas swim in Ireland. Why does nowhere else in the country do anything similar? Such a shame. Thank God EVERY newspaper and news source talks about the 40 footer, otherwise life would be so dull… Maybe we might hear about somewhere different next year for once. Well done to everybody who braved the cold water anywhere else…
