The sea has aways been a part of Nuala Moore’s life: her earliest memory is of jumping off her father’s fishing boat in Dingle Harbour and swimming back to shore. Since then, she’s swum in some of the coldest, most remote and dangerous waters in the world, from the Bering Strait to the Drake Passage.
After years of marathon swimming, Nuala struggled to balance sacrifice and achievement. Her work–life balance, coupled with caring for her father, forced a change in her pathway. She turned to ice swimming. For Nuala, these extreme situations offered freedom and a chance to find her true north.
The book details what goes through her mind when she’s in the water and how, when she returns home, she processes the fallout of pushing herself to the brink.
Nuala Moors has been listed three times in the World Open Water Swimming Association’s list of top 50 most adventurous women in open water swimming. She has twice shortlisted for the World Open Water Woman of the Year.
Limitless is her breathtaking memoir.
