Remembering Tom Bermingham
Two years gone today and missed at the beach every morning. He’d have loved the fine weather we’ve had this September – “Where would you get it?”, he’d have asked.
Great picture of him sharing a laugh with Bernard Lynch. Tom as you would remember him – in Myrtleville and in his element.
Presentation by Myrtleville Swimmers to RNLI
We were delighted this morning to present €3,700 to Ian Venner of Crosshaven RNLI, the proceeds of the Myrtleville Swimmers Myrtleville to Church Bay Swim. Looking forward to 2023 to make a further contribution. Sincere thanks to everyone who donated, participated, supported and assisted in any way.

RNLI Swim – Participant information

Parking in Church Bay and in Myrtleville will be very limited. Work with the stewards. Parking is available in the Rugby Club at the top of the hill in Myrtleville.
RNLI Swim on June 16 – can’t make it?
If you have entered for the swim on June 16 and you now can’t make it that evening, please think of the RNLI and cancel your place. You will not get a refund and you can’t transfer your entry, but a cancellation will free up a place for someone on the very long waiting list to enter and thus give some more money for the RNLI. It’s all about funds for the Lifeboats.
Help wanted for new swimmers evening – May 31st at 6.45pm
May 31st, 6.45 pm: Weather permitting, Eilis Burns will be bringing a group of new open water swimmers to Myrtleville on Tuesday, May 31st at 18:45.
Any of the regular Myrtleville swimmers who can be around that evening to give any help would be appreciated. We need strong swimmers used to the sea to join the group for the swim and watch out for anyone who needs some support. Also, any kayakers or SUPs available would be very welcome.
Please come down if you can. Remember what your own first swim was like and help out.
