A swim with a view of the Eiffel Tower 😍
This is the level of ambition we need in Dublin. Swimming in Dublin's canals and the Liffey shouldn't be a risky activity, but something that's safe, comfortable, and easily accessible for all!

Parole tenue ! Les sites de baignade dans la Seine sont ouverts !
100 ans après son interdiction, la baignade est de nouveau possible.
Un moment historique pour Paris et un héritage majeur des Jeux pour les Parisiennes et les Parisiens.

No cool down capital: Dublin is a city by the sea, so why is it so hard to go for a swim?
As heatwaves become more frequent, access to safe, swimmable blue spaces in our cities is not a luxury, it should be a public health priority.

First impression: a fantastic idea! The 15-20 floating saunas in Oslo, where you can dive straight off the pontoon into the sea, are amazing.
But then it hits you—if you can’t swim in the sea at Dun Laoghaire, what’s the point of a floating sauna?
A waste opportunity!
