A "Coffee with Colm" Special recorded LIVE while immersed in 7 degree water in the Shannon River as the sun dawned on the last Sunday of February 2024
A "Coffee with Colm" Special recorded LIVE while immersed in 7 degree water in the Shannon River as the sun dawned on the last Sunday of February.
My lovely Mam passed a year ago - on Feb 20th 2023 - God Rest Her.
Being an all year round open-water swimmer since
2020 I was intrigued to stumble across an open-water swimming challenge called Freezebrury - to remain immersed in open water for a cumulative total of 435 minutes during the month of February, when Irish waters are at their coldest,
sea, lake and river.
So I decided to accept the challenge and in so
doing raise funds for the wonderful work done by the beautiful end-of-life carers employed by the Irish Hospice Foundation.
I completed Freezebrury at dawn (on Sunday Feb
25th) and recorded this episode of "Coffee with Colm" during the
final moments of the final swim of that month-long challenge, immersed up to my chin in 7.8 degree water! I was in the water for 26 minutes BEFORE I hit record!
During this episode I share some pertinent lessons I have learned over the years to help me get more out of life.
If you'd like to find out more, stick on the kettle, grab a HOT coffee, and think with me for a few minutes.
