WOW 8 years of FUN and cold water, nourished with sunshine and laughter in Carlingford Lough in the beautiful Emerald Isle.
We beam with pride when we see the successes which have ensued for HITtheWALL ‘graduates’ over the previous years. Look at you now ! Oceans, lakes and rivers aplenty to talk about, how HITtheWALL helped you learn about your swim ability, your body’s way of coping with the cold, nutritional errors and amendments, the importance of yoga and flexibility and mindset and race day planning with a PLAN B or C or D should all previous ones HITtheWALL. We learn all the time and when it comes to channel swimming we know a thing or two. Tidal push and pull necessitates hard grind.
For 2024 we are changing the game plan slightly with increased distance and the onus on you to swim it BUT we are still maintaining the same great craic.
HITtheWALL returnees welcome! Freshers Welcome and what to expect ? well let’s just say the water will be fresh and you will have fun.
See you in on and around the water !
