Protect Our Oceans
Together, we can shine a light on the importance of preserving Ireland’s precious seas. By raising awareness for ocean conservation, we’re working to keep our waters clean and thriving for future generations.
Support Life-Changing Charities
This swim is about more than personal achievement, it’s about giving back. We are proud to support The Simon Community Ireland and RNLI, two incredible organizations that work tirelessly to help people in need and save lives at sea.
