An awe-inspiring reminder of the greatness inside everyone

The sea has always been a part of Nuala Moore’s life: her earliest memory is of jumping off her father’s fishing boat in Dingle Harbour and swimming back to shore. Since then, she’s swum in some of the coldest, most dangerous and remotest waters in the world, from the Bering Strait to the Drake Passage.

After years of marathon swimming, Nuala struggled to balance sacrifice and achievement. Her work–life balance, coupled with caring for her father, forced a change in her pathway. She turned to ice swimming. For Nuala, these extreme situations offered freedom and a chance to find her true north.

Nuala Moore is an open-water swimmer and cold-water safety expert. She holds two Guinness World Records for extreme swims. She has represented Ireland at five ice swimming world championships and was part of the relay team to swim around Ireland in 2006. In 2017, Red Bull recognised her as one of Ireland’s most adventurous women.
