Nuala Moore
Nuala Moore, Irish Open Water Adventure Swimmer & Event Organiser was a team member of the Round Ireland Relay Swim, the longest marathon staged relay in the world (830 miles, 56 days-35 swim days, 6 swimmers). She has taken part in an English Channel Double crossing relay, Lake Zurich 26km swim solo, 1800m @ 3deg water, competed in Siberia in -33 deg air, 1000m @ 0 deg inside the Arctic Circle and member of Bering Strait Relay Swim.
Moore was brought up in Dingle, South West Ireland surrounded with some of the most beautiful and challenging water in the world. Sea swimming is her first love, she loves adventure, having spent her childhood in the sea. Competition was never part of her swimming world and still isn't. The sea in all its moods can be the greatest competitor of all.
In 2003 Moore starting taking on swims local to the area of Dingle, having friends in the marine and coming from a fishing family, this allowed her good safety cover and as years progressed she developed a love of deep water and rough conditions. Very much motivated by Lynne Cox and her swims around the world. Lynne's approach was so filled with possibility and individual challenge.
After the unprecedented Round Ireland Swim, Moore decided to commit to organising three swims on the annual calendar and through these swims she has brought swimmers out to challenging waters, deepwater starts, under supreme rescue cover and allowed them to challenge themselves. Bring up their distances, their confidence in non competitive, happy atmosphere.
