Nuala Moore is an Irish open water swimmer and adventurer. She has spent decades as a scuba-diving professional and has been involved in developing standards and procedures both in ice and channel swimming.

She is a pioneer, a cold-water safety specialist, a coach, a mentor, an event organiser and an endurance swimmer who has pushed the boundaries for women in extreme sports. She is the first swimmer in the world to swim a mile from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, in the Drake Passage, and the first Irish swimmer to swim 1,000m at 0 degrees (as well as the third woman in the world). Nuala was awarded the Frank Golden scholarship for her work on cold water safety education. She founded the Ocean Triple R, a water safety initiative for sharing information around messaging. She has been listed three times in the World Open Water Swimming Association's list of top 50 most adventurous women in open water swimming and twice shortlisted for the World Open Water Woman of the Year.
