    Yes, there's a swim on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. I googled and found this http://blog.enjoymalahide.com/2011/12/23/low-rock-malahide-christmas-new-years-day-swim-advice/

    There's usually one down on Portmarnock beach as well. It's been getting a pretty big turnout the last few years.

    An awful lot of people do it for charity. Fair play.

    Ah its a bit of craic. Head down with the mates, have a dip to shake the cobwebs off, sup of brandy then home to spend the day with the family. Good festive cheer for all.
