Forty Foot

Sarah Cooney

“Okay, not a pool, but it IS a specific swimming location and one that I loved. I was so committed to swimming here that I dragged a friend, my friend's father, a bottle of whiskey, an Aran sweater, and many wool blankets here on the last night of November to dive in. A Peak Life Experience and one I highly recommend if you want to feel more alive than you ever have in your life.”

“I’ve recc’d it before and I’ll rec it a thousand times. You gotta go jump in the frosty (FROSTY) waters of the forty foot. It is not for the feint of heart. But it’ll get your cred with any dubliners you meet. It used to be men’s only (until the 70s or 80s maybe?) and we met a fab older lady (probs in her 70s) who would go with her dad when she was a kid but she had to wait at the top of the hill”
