Thirty swimmers in the water on Saturday and Siobhan had moved heaven and earth to get off work to get in for a swim and – of course – take the pictures – what a star!  She arrived with seasonal props and her subjects were just told to pose..

Tara & Rosaleen Reindeer

Organiser and Birthday girl, Carol with sister, Eleanor – what’s that thing Eleanor’s wearing?

There’s a group of Triathletes swimming at the beach who just can’t go into the water at this stage without someone there to take their picture.  Seasoned professionals by now…

They line up on land…..

And they line up in the sea…..

Hats look good on some people – and then there are others…..

There are no redeeming words for this picture. All we can say is Siobhan made us do it….

And again, Siobhan made Dave Dowling do it….

Striking a familiar, yet Festive pose…..the Crosshaven Ladies (with Tim and Keith)…

At one point for those into the water a bit early, it sounded like there might be a problem back on the beach – a tsunami or something – to justify the decibels of screeching as certain irregular swimmers entered the water….

The screams could be heard in Ballycotton……

Smile!! I’m Frozen!!! Me Too!!!!

More of Siobhan’s endless supply of hats….Ger Venner and Joleen Cronin.

Reindeers and Penguins were on hand for the Turkey Swim.

Caroline and helpers did a great job with the mulled wine and it was a really lovely morning.  There are some unclaimed prizes – contact Carol:
