The Gollymocky Whalers are a group of OCs and friends who swim in the seas of the 40 Foot in Sandycove on a daily basis all year round. The Freezbrury challenge raises the bar by adding a minute each day to our time in the coldest waters of the year. So, on the 10th it's 10 minutes, on the 11th it's 11 minutes, and so on until we get to 28 minutes on the 28th.

The Whalers will also be joined by some of their fellow 40 Foot swimming friends, male and female, to help get through the long water minutes. Some will provide 'peloton' paddling support while the swim leaders push for the 28th 'summit' but ALL will be in the waters each day for a minimum 10 minutes. We are raising money this year in aid of LauraLynn to support their work providing specialised care for 650 children and their families with life-limiting conditions. Our Freezbrury campaigns over the past four years have raised over €150,000 and we thank you in advance for your contribution to this excellent cause.
