Well Done to sisters Amelia (14) and Sophia (11) Quish finishing this years Gaddinabt swim event in Glengarriff (5k and 1k) in super time! 🌊💙

After completing the 3K GaddinAbtGarnish swim in 2025 and raising over €2,800 last year, Amelia returned to conquer the 5K this year. Out of her own ambition and strong compassion to achieve her goals and with endless support from her parents and family, Amelia trained consistently throughout the winter preparing for this monster swim distance with amazing willpower and determination. With some guidance from her swim coach Monika from Coast Swimmer Amelia and her sister Sophia took on this years Gaddinabt event and together they raised another €1,700 to support the amazing volunteers at BISRA.

An incredible achievement from two inspiring young swimmers. Well done, girls! 👏🏊‍♀️💙

Starting our season with a splash..! Cold water swimming can boost mood, increase energy levels, and help reduce stress through the body’s natural response to cold water. It can improve resilience, confidence, and create a strong sense of wellbeing and connection with nature. Many people also find that regular cold water dipping supports better sleep, mental clarity, and a positive mindset
