Swim Èire

Donation protected


My name is Daragh Morgan and I am about to take on the biggest challenge of my life—a swim around the entire coastline of Ireland. But I cannot do this alone and need your help to make it a reality. This isn’t just about adventure, it’s about curiosity and a homage to the beauty of Ireland. This trip is also about Ireland the people the culture, the cuisine and the stunning oceans and seas that surround us.

But to make this expedition happen, I need your help.

Why Am I Doing This?

Ireland has always interested me greatly, I grew up here and lived in various parts of the country mainly by the seas this is where my love of sea swimming was born at an early age. I was a beach lifeguard and head beach lifeguard at Dunmore East beach Co. Waterford. My love for the water came from being so close and swimming in it everyday.

This curiosity to explore Ireland has led me to run the length of Ireland self supported researching holy wells along the way one of many adventures I have completed. Now I want to experience Ireland’s most powerful natural resource the water that surrounds us. In an immersive adventure by swimming them. This journey will test me mentally and physically, but it’s also about sharing the spirit of adventure. I’ll be documenting the highs and lows, the stunning coastal landscapes, and the incredible people I meet along the way. Most importantly delving into the history of our coastline and country we call home.

What Your Support Will Do

Right now, the biggest hurdle isn’t the distance—it’s logistics. This kind of challenge requires a support boat to carry essential supplies, provide navigation, and ensure safety. The funds raised will go toward:
• Equipping the boat (navigation gear, safety equipment, and essentials to function as a proper support vessel)
• Fuel & operational costs (keeping the boat running for the duration of the expedition)
• Food & provisions (for myself and the support crew)
• Other necessary expenses (permits, maintenance, and unforeseen challenges)

Be Part of the Adventure

This isn’t just my journey—it’s ours. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps turn this dream into reality. Whether you donate, share this page, or just follow along, you’re part of this wild adventure.

Let’s make SwimÉire happen! Thank you for your support.
