Wonderfully Successful Delayed Boeing Swim on Saturday

The truly inspiring spirit of the many participants in Saturday's delayed Boeing Swim in aid of Cork Mental Health
The truly inspiring spirit of the many participants in Saturday’s delayed Boeing Swim in aid of Cork Mental Health Foundation (and the money is used by that Foundation at a local level) was clearly in evidence despite the wind and the rain.    Because of the high level of the river Blackwater a section was cordoned off within which the swimmers had to stay.   Martin Crean gave some “splashing” surprises and he in turn got some return splashes!   We’ve lots more pictures to share over the next two days.  Click on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)
