In 2009, the event changed its name from the “Blackwater Swim” to the “Martin Duggan Memorial Swim” in memory of local schoolboy, Martin Duggan, who drowned tragically in the River Blackwater in July 2007. Swimmers had four swim options open to them this year: 1 km, 2 km, 4 km or 6 km. Here are the results:
