Sea swimming is the great leveller; we're all the same in a pair of
togs. No one minds who you are or what you've done; the question is
`are you getting in?' Popular for centuries, sea swimming has had a
recent surge in interest, with a growing community now taking the
plunge. Brendan Mac Evilly and Michael O'Reilly, enthusiastic
members of this bathing fraternity, chart their adventures in
forty-three of Ireland's most enticing places to swim. Along the
way, they meet artists who come to the sea for inspiration and
distance swimmers undertaking marathon sea swims. Their
conversations with local dippers touch on the history and lore of
these stunning locations and confirm Ireland's vibrant sea-swimming
culture. Part guidebook, part travelogue, part analysis of our
relationship with the sea, At Swim explores the thrills, fears and
joys of sea swimming.
