Ciarán Seawright - The Water School

12/13/24 • 24 min

From A to Sea – The Southern Star Sea Swimming Podcast

CIARÁN Seawright runs the Water School at Pearson’s Bridge near Kealkil – the school his father built to share his love of water with others.

The pool is a wonderful amenity for West Cork, teaching both adults and children the wonderful skill of swimming.

It is almost unique in its method of water filtration too – using a non-chemical method with UV light that makes the water feel like silk – as Ciarán explained.

Having been brought up in a house with swimming at its core, Ciarán has had a lifelong love of the sea and watersports and has travelled the world to indulge his passion.

He spoke to editor Siobhán Cronin recently, about his decision to take over at the Water School, and continuing his father Clive’s incredible legacy and vision.

Women & Water: Recorded live at Bandon Town Hall for the Banshee Festival

The latest edition of the From A to Sea podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at Bandon Town Hall during the recent Banshee Festival.

Organised by Marguerite McQuaid, secretary of Creative Bandon, the annual festival enjoys a varied arts programme, marking the start of the Halloween season in West Cork.

For this month’s podcast, host and Southern Star editor Siobhán Cronin was joined by three wonderful guests to discuss the theme of ‘Women and Water’.

Women and Water – even the words have a wonderful symbiosis ... they both begin with w, they both contain two syllables and of course, water is the source of all life, as are women.

It’s no wonder women feel so connected to H2O.

Siobhán’s guests – who dive deep into the subject matter – are author, extreme swimmer and businesswoman Nuala Moore from Dingle; Durrus-based yoga teacher, wild swimming enthusiast and children’s swimming coach Dominique Corcoran, and educator and sea enthusiast Katie McShane, the founder of Wise Water, based in Kinsale.
