Help wanted for June 27th
Just over a month to go and preparations are well progressed.
With 350 swimmers expected on the night, we need as much help as we can get on the water and on land.
Anyone available to provide support in a kayak or RIB or perhaps to help out on land, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact Bernard Lynch on 086-2257058 if you are available on the evening – Friday, June 27.
First 100 entries are in
Thanks to the 100 people who have entered already for the Church Bay Swim on June 27. We are raising funds for the Buoys and the RNLI, so keep those entries coming! We’ll need to get more people to fill the steps like last year 🙂

Cork County Council Grant confirmed
We’ve received confirmation of an Amenity Grant of €1,965 from Cork County Council. It’s very welcome, but does leave us €5,020 short of the quoted cost of replacing and maintaining the Buoys for 2025. We’ll be relying heavily on the Church Bay Swim on June 27th, so get entering 🙂
Entries open for Myrtleville to Church Bay Swim 2025
The 2025 Myrtleville Swimmers’ Myrtleville to Church Bay 2km open water sea swim will take place on Friday, June 27 at 7.00 pm.

20th Year Anniversary – Cork Open Water Explosion – dinner 27th September
This will be good crack. By way of reassurance, I will NOT be one of the speakers and I have it in writing that Bernard won’t be either. So, all safe there – book away.
FROM NED –
The first 28 have registered: a few solos and other “pods of swimmers” did a collection and bought tables.
The dinner cost is 50 euro. It is a small gesture – but anyone who put in more than 16 hours of volunteer time in 2024 (organizing, crewing, timekeeping, etc.) can register for 40 Euro. A table of 8 is 350 Euro.
Ideally pay by Revolut (ned.denison@corkopenwater.com 087 987 1573). PLEASE add your email address to the note – and contact me if you don’t get email confirmation within a week. Email me if you want a bank IBAN number. We can open a credit card booking facility – but there will be a booking fee.
Myrtleville to Church Bay Swim 2025 – June 27 at 7pm
Get out your diaries and start planning your training.
Friday, June 27, 2025 at 19.00 will see the next edition of the world’s greatest 2km swim to Church Bay from Myrtleville.
Buoy maintenance completed
Buoys 2 and 6 have been replaced and the other four are spruced up and re-shackled for Winter. Great work by Marc Lake and crew.
We’ll submit the claim to the Council for part of the costs and decide next year about another GoFundMe campaign to cover the annual maintenance.
Presentation to RNLI for Myrtleville to Church Bay Swim
The proceeds of the swim on June 10 are being shared with €2,807.93 going to RNLI Crosshaven and the same towards the maintenance of the swim buoys in Myrtleville.
This morning we presented Ian Venner from RNLI Crosshaven with the RNLI share.
Thanks once again to everyone who supported the event.
