Bernard O'Shea dips his toe into the Wim Hof method... and the shower
Bernard O'Shea: 'The idea of cold water submersion and its benefits has been around for thousands of years'
Along with banana bread, hiking and Joe Wicks-ing (I’m applying to The Oxford English Dictionary to make Joe Wicks into a verb), sea swimming has been a rewarding medal of honour to bestow onto yourself and your Instagram account during lockdown.
I had the grandiose plan to join the Happy Pear Brothers in a sea-swim in Greystones. With the 5k limit, I had to save that idea along with my pale flabby ginger body from entering the Irish Sea at sunrise. I don’t think my wife would have been too please either if I left her alone with three small kids and her full-time job for most of the morning.
