5 Wonderful Swims

In life, I guess its better to be born lucky and when you are born in Kerry you are certainly lucky.

They say there are two kingdoms, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Kerry. I had an idyllic childhood growing up during the 70’s. We had only one tv channel which started at 4pm so we had to find our own entertainment. We had such freedom to explore the world around us, and Kerry is renown for its landscape and seascape. From its mountain ranges, to its wild coastline this landscape has also shaped the people of Kerry.

Making them proud and passionate of their music, history, poets, writers and sport. But we have something more if you are an open water or wild swimmer, we have something special and as a swimmer to have this on my doorstep I am lucky indeed. I have always felt comfortable in the water I love the smell of the sea, the taste of the sea, the salt in my hair and the sand in my socks. All the chaos in my life has happened on land. Kerry’s swim spots are endless, from rock pools, coves, rivers, beaches, lakes and piers. We can swim under sea arches, caves and cliffs, over rock formations and kelp forests and around lighthouses, castles, and islands. So, I don’t want to call this the top Five swim spots in Kerry (I hate these kind of lists). I would prefer to call this, “Five Wonderful Swims in Kerry”.
