New guide to Irish swimming places will support the RNLI

Launched last month, this is the second book on the theme by open water swimmer Catherine Mulcahy. In 2021 her first book, ‘A Little Book of Swimming Happiness’ was a great success and raised over ten thousand Euro for the RNLI.

Speaking of her love for open water swimming the author says: ‘as long as I remember I have loved the sea. My mother initially introduced me to sea swimming at 'The Strand' when I was a toddler, a local swim spot near our family home in Cork. This ‘grá’ for the sea has since evolved into a genuinely unconditional love!’

‘A Little Book of Happy Swimming Locations’ celebrates swimming around Ireland and features 50 contributors favourite swim spots. The book is beautifully presented with photographs and commentary from swimmers who share their favourite swimming spots with the readers.

The book has a cover price of €20 with 100% of the proceeds going to the RNLI. It is available online from Nourish at https://lnkd.in/e_TtXj42 and also available to purchase in-store at 64 Wine and Caviston’s Glasthule Village and Cafe du Journal Monkstown.

All stockists are selling the book at 0% commission.
