On the South wall of Dublin Harbor is the Half-Moon Swimming Club where hardy types like to swim year round and no women were allowed.

Artist Reply: Thanks Ruth, that place has lots of memories for me and part of the sky was a cloud formation of Santa and his dogs.

This is wonderful! P.S. What if a woman tries to join? Has any ever tried to?

Frank Maguire
Artist Reply: I believe women can join and swim there but that means no more neked bodies and the men enjoyed strutting their unsightly stuff for some reason which has always escaped me. Frank

Frank Maguire
Artist Reply: There were 2 'Men Only.' bathing places in Dublin during most of my life. Now women have asserted their rights and c an swim in these places too. Bit that means costumes must be worn. no more neked bodies. Thanks for your comment.
