From the World Triple Crown of Ocean Swimming to the Irish and New Zealand Triple Crowns, Grainne shares her extraordinary journey, beginning with her first ever open water swim at the 25K World Championships. It's not just about individual achievements; the open water swimming communities have seen a remarkable surge, especially during the pandemic.
