19 Best Things to Do in Dublin, From Bookstores to Breweries | Condé Nast Traveler

"It's a public swimming spot on the picturesque southern tip of Dublin Bay where locals—some daily—embrace chilly water that ranges from about 43°F in winter to 59°F in summer; this is less about lap swimming and more about joining a refreshing 250-year-old tradition, so bring something dry and warm to change into afterward." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
