The water temperature in Fenit was hovering around 12c and rising but all of the recent rain has seen it drop back to below 11c .

This combined with the poor weather has seen a drop off in the amount of swimmers in training.

Please learn to recognise the signs of hypothermia in yourself and others. Dry off quickly and get dressed in warm clothing. Hopefully the remainder of June will be better.

The next swim up is on Monday the 16th June at 7.30. This is for The Paddy O’Sullivan Cup in memory of one of the clubs founders.

This cup will be presented to the winner of Group C. Paddy’s son Diarmuid is an active swimmer in the series and is listed in this group.

We will start at the bathing slip and finish at the beach with Group A off first.

Prizes for the 3 group winners from the 1st swim will also be presented on the night .

The points table for The Swimmer of the Year after the first round has four swimmers at the top with 5 points each . They are Sean Kenny , Daniel Doyle , Suzanne O’Sullivan and Donal Fitzgibbon who earned a bonus point for flag day collections .
