Last open water swim of 2012

One last sea swim to see out the year and James Slowey Jnr. got  a great picture of the beach to mark it. Pity about the three guys who got in the way……

Winter Swimming – sunset

Sun setting by 4.30 as the cold closes in – thought this looked good: couldn’t quite capture how red it was in real life.  We are swimming Saturday mornings at 8am and a couple of afternoons about 4.00, if anyone is interested.

Myrtleville Turkey Swim – Dec 2, 2012

Liz Buckley & others are organising the 2012 Turkey Series.  They have bowed to demand from the swimming public and scheduled a date for the jewel in Cork’s swimming crown….. see you at 13:30 on Myrtleville beach, Sunday, December 2.  Be there early, as we’re expecting a huge crowd……maybe our local Lucky Duck, might make an appearance, to support fowl friends. No comments please about who is the biggest turkey.

From Liz:

Format is the same as always, €2 per entry, you can swim, walk, paddle. Proceeds all go towards the prizes at the end. More times you enter, the better your chances!
