On Sunday June 8^th a group of 20 swimmers took to the water in Limerick City Centre in support of the Pat Lawless Sail and Oar Festival. The swim took place from St Michael’s slipway to Sarsfield Bridge and back to St Michaels. The swim was coordinated with the rowing regatta between Sarsfield and Shannon Bridges and sailing events between Sarsfield and Thomond Bridges. The weather was very “polite” and a good day was had by everyone and it really demonstrated the amenity value of the river in Limerick. Events of this kind should be run more regularly during the summer months. Well done to all who took part.
