Dozens of swimmers braved the cold weather earlier to take part in traditional Christmas Day swims across the capital from Sandycove to Clontarf.
Hundreds of people gathered at different locations across Dublin for the annual festive dip, and there were long queues of swimmers wearing Santa hats waiting to jump in the sea at Forty Foot in Sandycove where the sea temperature was just over 10C.
In recent years bad weather and the Covid-19 pandemic meant that not as many swimmers took the festive dip, but things were back to normal this morning at Forty Foot.
