Lee Swim Start Group

Saturday marked the day for this year’s ‘Vibes and Scribes’ Lee Swim, one of Ireland’s biggest annual open water events. It was a beautiful day for the swim and there was a record entry of over 420 swimmers with 380 swimming on the day. It was a huge challenge to organise that many swimmers but I think that everyone would agree that the organisers did an absolutely fantastic job at getting everyone into and out of the water quickly and efficiently. Well done to everyone involved. And thank you to all swimmers for your cooperation in following all of the instructions!

Lots of bridges!

And for those of you who completed the Lee and are looking for another similar distance challenge…we have ‘The Edge Sports’ Sandycove Island Challenge coming up on September 7th!
