Conditions were ideal for the annual Island Dhu swim that took place on Sunday in a hot and balmy Portrush!!
12 swimmers turned up hoping to make it from the Harbour across the West Bay and back, a distance of 2k.
After the obligatory safety briefing the swimmers entered the water at 1420 and lined up in an orderly fashion just to the left of the slipway near the harbour mouth.

This year’s event had a good entry and very nice to see a lot of newcomers to this distance. With the growth of Open Water swimming especially in relation to the phenomenal growth in triathlons it is very important we nurture and entice as much participation as we can cope with. On Friday evening Declan O’Reilly brought up his rib, Cu na Mara, to the jetty at Carrybridge.
