From the Forty Foot to the west-coast strands — Ireland’s long sea-swimming tradition. Hattie tracks 210 wild-swim spots across Ireland — 197 sea spots, 6 rivers and 7 lakes — each with a live verdict before you get in.

Every Ireland spot draws on the official feeds Hattie checks through the day: storm-overflow (sewage) reports straight from the water companies, the regulator's bathing-water classifications, river levels, tides, wind and rainfall. Tap any spot for the live picture, the data behind it, and what other swimmers have reported.
