Round the Head swim

-

The Round the Head Swim takes place from Clogherhea­d Lifeboat Station on July 14th next.

Clogherhea­d provides swimmers with an opportunit­y to be very close to nature and see at close quarters the geographic­al features like Redman’s Cave as you circumnavi­gate the head.

During the swim there will be a number of boats, kayakers, paddle boarders and members of the local Coastguard on duty.

The water temp is likely to be between 12 C and 14 C. All candidates should have swan in similar conditions and swam at least 1.5 K in the open water within the previous 3 months.

Junior swimmers, under 16 years old, must have a parent or guardian sign on their behalf. The organising committee have the final say in participan­ts entry to the event.
