Carnlough swim for a great cause
Last year the swim raised the magnificent sum of £6500 and this year again has got off to a brilliant start with £2575 being lifted on the day thanks to the generous sponsorship from the general public. This again highlights the generosity of people and the swimmers who are always prepared to support and help ones less fortunate than themselves.
Chairman of the Association Billy McIlroy said it was very pleasing to see so many swimmers, particularly the younger ones. He also added it was very nice to see so many first time swimmers and visitors and he hoped they would all enjoy themselves and return another time.
Next year will be the 44th anniversary of the event which was started off by the late John McNeil, Bill Bell, Danny Wylie and Aidan Metrusty.
