For pilates teacher and neuromuscular therapist Gigi Tynan, sea swims have become an integral part of her wellness-focused lifestyle. In fact, having a dip has become such a source of joy that she wishes more people would take advantage of the seas that surround Ireland.While Tynan has swum in the sea on-and-off over the years, she admitted that the extreme cold was always more of a ‘deterrent rather than a draw’.
Braving the elements gave Tynan a “deep sense of achievement” once again and allowed her to take back control of her life.Beyond the almost-spiritual benefits of swimming in open water, Tynan noted that there are so many physical benefits.
