Rebecca Braun, Executive Dean, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies at the University of Galway, is an enthusiastic sea swimmer, like many people who took it up during Covid and have remained in thrall to the waves.
She has translated a book on the subject by a German author, Ulrike Draesner, a novel in which the central character decides to swim the English Channel. She will be joined by Dee Newell, an accomplished sea swimmer who has swum the Galway Marathon and the English Channel.
