Hi all,
Due to the footy on Wednesday I am going to go down to Seapoint and do 1500-2000m at 6:30pm.
I don't know what I am doing but if anyone wants some company then all are welcome to join!
Cheers
Marcus

EDIT: In hindsight, is it not advisable to swim at high tide? (I did say I dont have a clue!)
Would appreciate a steer here if anyone knows. Cheers

About 1hr either side of high tide is good.

Hi Marcus, you can find out more about the tides in the open water section of the club website. There's some info you can download. There is little or no current at high tide as well as it being he easiest time to get in and out so it's definitely a good time to swim!! Enjoy!

Ah , is my tide calendar out of sync ? Tomorrow 6:30PM is according to my planner super low tide , I guess at that Time you could walk to the buoys in Seapoint. Anyway If nothing comes in between than I will be at Killiney beach at 19:00 O'clock for a swim

Sorry - high tide is the best time to swim! But Britta is correct - low tide is at 18:42 and it is nearly a spring tide (lower than normal). Links for tide info at the bottom of this page on the website: www.belparktri.ie/open-water-swimming/ |
