Life Members
Alongside Billy Wallace and Dermot Duffy they were part of the pioneering committee who created the 17k Irish Championship event in Enniskillen. They personally navigated multiple different routes through Lough Erne before deciding on the current route as the best and safest for swimmers. They subsequently ran the event for many years, growing the swim year on year and attracting worldwide interest and participation in the event.
They ran the Copeland Island swim which many entered just for the bbq at their home after. Even when their children Grainne and Conor were no longer at Irish swims they continued to be at all ILDSA swims, encouraging, supporting and helping every swimmer with words of advice, a warm drink or just a hug depending on what was needed!
