Wild Swimming Sunday - Short films including Man of Arran
This programme of short films about sea swimming includes the salty documentary from director Paul McCambridge about the beauty of Ireland's coastline juxtaposed with the inner strength of 83-year-old Paddy Conaghan, a man who refuses to let age define him.
He embarked on an extraordinary adventure to circumnavigate, literally immersing himself in Ireland’s rugged coastal beauty, whilst promoting the cause of mental health awareness. Through stunning visuals and heartfelt interviews, we are transported into Paddy's world & his mission.
Meet up at the slipway at the Harbour at 10.30am for a pre-screening swim. Then pick up a hot drink at NCC before the film – film starts at 12pm.
We are delighted to welcome Maureen McAvoy, author of “Wild Swimming in Ireland,” and filmmaker Paul McCambridge who will be on hand to share their passion for sea swimming.
All proceeds will be shared between RNLI and Swim Free Swimming Association.
