7. What is the average water temperature?

Water temperatures can vary significantly depending on weather conditions. The average water temperature is usually around 12°C at the time of this event.

Due to the unique setting of the Killary Fjord the water temperature can fluctuate. If there is a lot of rain in the days leading up to the event, the temperature can be lower as colder river water flows into the fjord.

Hypothermia can set in quickly, especially for anyone swimming in skins. It is essential that swimmers monitor how they feel in the water. If in doubt, act quickly and alert our safety staff on the water who will ensure you get the treatment you need.
