‘Stretch, Strip and Dip’ before cake on the sand at this seaside fundraiser
The Galley Head Swim is on again this year.
If you’re not familiar, this iconic 10km challenge sees swimmers start at the Red Strand near Ardfield in West Cork, tackling the legendary waters around Galley Head before rounding on the long 6km leg to The Warren in Rosscarbery.
Locals and swimmers from across the country head down annually to partake in the event, which this year is raising funds for Marymount Hospice, Cancer Connect, and CoAction.
In preparation for the big swim and to raise funds for this year’s chosen charities, the Bottlenosed Dolphins are inviting swimmers to come for a Stretch, Strip, and Dip on Sunday, June 11th, 2023.

“We are putting on a fundraiser event on June 11th at 8am on Red Strand Beach. Yoga flow followed by a group charge to the sea for a refreshing dip.” said organiser, personal trainer, and yoga teacher Lorna O’Regan on Instagram.
“After we will enjoy a much-welcomed tea/ coffee and chats.”
If you would like to get up early, raise money for some great causes, and get in a yoga session and a bracing swim before lunchtime, you can purchase tickets (€20) for the Stretch, Strip and Dip here.
Participants are encouraged to wear blue on the day.
