CDW produces a towel with the name of every swimmer have swam the English Channel and around Sandycove Island. Quite a few swimmers have made “getting their name on the towel” their goal in the first years of their marathon careers. It is possible to opt-out of having your name on the towel – just email ned.denison@corkopenwater.com
Each year CDW holds a Triple Crown Dinner – with about 100 attendees. This is the place to honor Triple Crown swimmers, all on the towel, volunteers and named CDW Heroes. Generally, your travelling companions are also welcome (no fee) – but check in late May please.
