I’d probably be more worried about run off in the days after heavy rain rather than day of heavy rain. Even then I’ve swam most days after heavy rain, as it never really stops raining on the west coast of Ireland.
That all said I’m sure run off in rural Ireland is a bit different to run off in a city, and the Atlantic is a bigger body of water than the river.
TLDR; I’d probably go anyway and just not drink the water. Can of coke afterwards to nuke anything per the old wives tale
