Blackrock Lighthouse Swim

Well done to all club members who took part in today's Blackrock Lighthouse Swim.
Conditions were a little misty with moderate winds and the swimmers took advantage of the channel on the way out. The swim back was more challenging with lots of currents to contend with and difficult sighting. Club member Rory O'Connor took second place with Shane O'Doherty first ashore. Niall Melvin put in a strong swim to finish well up the field and John Hanly completed his first 5km swim. There was a consensus that the swim was tougher than the strandhill swim due to the currents. Thanks to Paul Rennick and Water Safety for running what was a tough but enjoyable event. The swim may be from Innismurray to Streedagh next year
