Back in 2015, when I went swimming on Christmas day, there were maybe 100 other people on the beach doing the same thing. 

My family were sure I’d be the only person on Tramore beach at 11 am on Christmas morning.

This year was one of the best ever turnouts for the Christmas Day swim and we spoke to some participants to see why they do it.

Watch the video of their comments and footage of the crowd of swimmers below.
