Forty Foot
The Forty Foot is a promontory on the southern tip of Dublin Bay at Sandycove, County Dublin, Ireland, from which people have been swimming in the Irish Sea all year round for some 250 years.〔as of 2008〕〔(fortyfoot.org ) 〕 ==Use== In former times it was exclusively a gentlemen's bathing place and the gentlemen's swimming club was established to help conserve the area.〔 Owing to its relative isolation and gender-specific nature it became a popular spot for nudists,〔 but in the 1970s, during the women's liberation movement, a group of female equal-rights activists plunged into the waters〔 and now it is also open to women and children. The gentlemen's swimming club still exists and is open to both genders, it expects voluntary contributions to the upkeep of the area.〔 Many people believe that swimming in the extremely cold water is healthy.
