THE HAPPY PEAR
EACH OF US IS JUST A DROP.
BUT TOGETHER WE CREATE RIPPLES.
The Menopausal Mermaids, Blueballs, Viking Dippers, Cold Water Tingz, the Ripple Effect . . . These are just some of the names of Ireland's wild swimming groups and they all have a story to tell.
Wild swimming is a movement, a wave that has surged around the shorelines of the island of Ireland - and it's not just about the activity, but about doing it together . . .
Swimming Wild Ireland dives into what makes these communities tick, on a journey that reveals why so many people say it's not only about the water but also about the companionship of swim friends and the joy of finding your tribe.
