We stole this concept from the South End Rowing Club in San Francisco which keeps track of Alcatraz swims. In 2011, we hosted Gary Emich who at the time had 801 recorded Alcatraz swims and the International Swimming Hall of Fame had requested his log book as part of their permanent display.
Many of our Sandycove Island swimmers are lap counters. They may have a goal at the start of the year or they may simply keep a log.
We honour the muti-lappers with Roman Numerals as follows:
- C = 100 or more laps
- D = 500 or more laps
- M = 1,000 or more laps
One of these days we’ll get some hats/hoodies with this theme.
We welcome you to keep your results up to date (no more frequently than monthly please!) and if you deserve to be on the list, please send in your current tally to sandycoveswimmers.cdm@gmail.com. We will accept a calculated estimate to get your current number. Just share the logic/calculations.
Below are our current C, D and M club members. These lists are will be kept updated here.
