Linda Scallan and Mick Quinn did the Great Fjord swim in Killary Harbour this weekend. Here is Lindas description of the event!
We changed into our wetsuits, boarded a bus that brought us to the boat. The boat then brought us to the starting line where we literally had to jump ship and swim the 2km swim to the shore. The water temperature was surprisingly pleasant for this time of year but we were against the tide all the way which was extremely tough, I felt like I was going no where. The views were unreal in the fjord which helped a bit. I would recommend this race for people next year, well organised but I would definitely try to enter a swim wave next year that I’m swimming with the tide.
