Very sad not to see this amazing event going ahead this year due to red tape … hopefully next year will be an amazing one.

Lough Dan is a truly unique and dramatic location for a swim event! It was formed by glacial erosion during the last Ice Age (Don’t worry it has warmed up in the last 25,000 years!). 3 km long and 500 metres wide with an average depth of 14m. It is surrounded by Luggala Mountain (595m) to the northeast and Kanturk (523m) to the west. Average summer water temperatures are between 13-15 degrees.

​

The event will be staged from the Lough Dan Scout Centre. There are 2 different distances starting in separate waves. The first is a 1 km ‘novice’ swim and the other a 3.9 km ‘ironman distance’.

Ireland is producing great swimmers, but are we failing them with the provision of pools?
Just incase you missed it...
