Sea swimming is an important theme of Louise Nealon’s book Snowflake. Join authors Maureen McCoy and Paul McCambridge as they talk about the joys of wild swimming and their forthcoming book THE COMPLETE BOOK OF WILD SWIMMING IN IRELAND: 200 Swim Spots in Beaches, Lakes and Rivers.
Maureen McCoy, from Hillsborough, County Down, is an award-winning open-water swimmer, having swum in the sea, loughs and rock pools with her brothers since she was a small child. In 2009, just after her fortieth birthday, she fulfilled her childhood ambition to swim the English Channel. Maureen enjoys outdoor swimming throughout the year and always keeps a swimsuit in her car - just in case.
Paul McCambridge has been a photographer for over twenty-five years. He has exhibited his work nationally and has won many awards over the years. He lives in Banbridge, County Down, and sees swimming outdoors as therapy and a way to reinvigorate the body.
