Was just looking at the events calendar for next year at www.thewaterisopen.com and was amazed at the number of events that they have in Ireland. Ireland is about the size of Indiana (and only about 75% the size of Pennsylvania), but they have a huge number of events. A nice variety of distances, too.
I think that the Court Without Appeal needs to be surprised with a vacation to Ireland next summer at a time and place that just HAPPENS to coincide with some of the more desirable races.

Most of the time I feel like no-one reads it so Thanks for the positive comment, much appreciated.
loneswimmer - visited the blog... great entertainment and a good resource... loved 'the snake' on march 23... is this 'lane rage?'
wow! I recently noticed that in the usms website there were many countries listed, except ireland.....i got in touch with swim ireland and let them know this. Hopefully,they'll be listed too....it's also the home of my ancestors - up the rebels!!!!!!!
My Granparents were from the West End of Ireland. I have thousands of cousins out there. I guess I should schedule a visit and a long swim. I was told that my ancestors could tolerate the cold water fairly well.

Keep in mind all your ancestors died!
