Nuala Moore is an Irish open water swimmer and an adventurer on a wider scale, cold water specialist mostly known for her extreme ice swims. .
The sea has always been a part of Nuala Moore’s life: her earliest memory is of jumping off her father’s trawler in Dingle harbour and swimming back to shore. Since then, she’s swum in some of the coldest, remotest and most dangerous waters in the world, from the Bering Strait to the Drake Passage.
Over the last decade, Nuala has pushed the boundaries in some of the most dangerous icy waters and remote locations in the world. Nuala is self-coached, develops her own training plans for tackling the ice; forging a path into pushing human limits without coaches, focusing on what she believes is possible for herself. Pain was - and is - part of her journey. Also pushing to be the best version of herself.
Nuala has been three times listed in the top 50 of the Most Adventurous Women in the World of Open water , 2015.2017 and 2019, as well as being nominated in the top 12 on two occasions as the world open water woman of the year 2014 and 2016.
Red Bull recognised her as one of Ireland’s most adventurous women in 2017.
The Bering Strait Relay, swimming over six days in the world’s most remote freezing waters, was awarded the World Performance of the Year 2014 and labelled the most dangerous open water swim in the world.
For Nuala life was always a balance of success and failure, of achievement and value and mostly loving the moments where we are on the edge of our own possible. Owning our Swagger is our greatest challenge and gift to ourselves.
Nuala is a pioneer, a cold-water safety specialist, coach, mentor, and an incredible endurance swimmer who has pushed the boundaries for women in extreme sports. She is engaging, inspirational, motivational, and mostly unassuming – a normal person fighting the daily fight to be the best version of herself.
