Christmas Day Swim
The Tralee Bay Swimming Club organised 64th annual Christmas Day Swim in Fenit was another great success . The weather was a bit damp and it put off a few spectators, but over 500 swimmers showed up for the dash n splash . The water temperature was measured at 8.9c , which is quite good for the time of year.
It was great to see the 25 or so regular winter swimmers stick together for a longer swim afterwards . The event was again a fundraiser for RNLI Fenit Lifeboat and Mike OConnor , fundraiser , confirmed a good day of donations .
Winter Swimming
The winter swimming recommenced last Sunday Morning with 21 swimmers showing up for the weekly swim . The water temp was noticeably colder and was measured at 7.2 c.
The air temp was 9c and and a bit of drizzle was keeping things quite cool . While everybody felt the cold , they carried on regardless and all enjoyed a great morning. The temperatures will continue to be low and maybe drop a bit further for the next 6 weeks or so.
