    Looking for a good safe spot or spots for OW training, just wondering where does everyone go in this area,

    Not part of club so would be training mostly alone with someone watching for safety, is there any place particularly popular that would have plenty there anyway instead of dragging the OH along all the time.

    Usually it's just pool swimming for me and the only OW swimming I get is races.

    Rose Hall, near Monasterboice. Clogherhead slipway from 7pm on Tues from late April onwards normally has at least 20. Or Bracken Lake, secluded but fantastic for OW swimming
