About this event

In recent years, Irish women have taken to the sea for the physical and mental health benefits of open water swimming. Part of First Fortnight Festival.

In this panel discussion, we will hear from three women who turned to the sea for solace, motivation, and joy. Claire Walsh, author of Under Water is a freediver, year-round sea swimmer and teacher of breathwork courses who moved to the coast in her twenties and never looked back. Ruth Fitzmaurice is the author of I Found my Tribe, the moving tale of how she found solace from family trauma in the cold waters of the Irish Sea. Maria Fleming, CEO of First Fortnight will chair this panel discussion to bring together these voices and experiences of turning to the sea in support of your mental health.
