SWIM
” Beautiful Swim! The type of swim you want to go back out and do again” Niall Breslin
The 750 metre swim takes place in the historic Baginbun Bay. A sheltered route, the race is a run-in from the beach. Approximately 110 competitors per wave. If you are a novice and nervous about the swim please let us know, we will provide you with a different colour hat so our marshals on the water can keep an eye out for you!

Continue to Fethard harbour and then a U turn to arrive back at the R734. Left turn back up the hill towards the GAA grounds located on the right hand side.
