Preparing for my #first open water #swim has been quite an adventure. I've gathered the basics: a cap, goggles, towel, and a tow float (which I might need to replace since it seems too small).
Now, I'm on the #hunt for a wetsuit, gloves, and socks to brave the chilly waters, which range from 8°C to 15°C.
I've researched the currents, water quality, and weather conditions in Ireland (found some informative websites), and I'm relieved to find a great beach nearby. I'm feeling a bit #scared, but very determined to take on this challenge!
