A few small changes…

We won’t have online entries for the swim on Friday as the Active system seems to have given up on us. So, if you do want to enter, you can print off the Entry Form, fill it in and return it to us as soon as possible.

You can scan it and email it back to blackwaterswim@gmail.com or send it in the post to Owen O’Keefe, 3 Springfield, Fermoy, Co. Cork, Ireland. We will accept entry fees (not entries, these must be done as just outlined) at registration.

Some good news though, we’ve reduced the entry fees to €15 for the 18+ age group and €10 for the <18 age group. Those who have paid the original entry fee already will be refunded at registration. Also, the water temperature is up, hooray!

Times for this year’s event…

While we’re still trying to sort out the issues with the online entry system, here’s just a quick reminder of the important times to remember for this year’s event:

  • Check-in at Fermoy Rowing Club from 18:00 to 19:00.
  • Safety briefing for all swimmers at the same location at 19:05.
  • Swim start at 19:30 from the new slipway.
  • Refreshments and prizes upstairs straight after the swim.

We’ll be announcing the kinds of prizes on offer soon…

Swim Map

There’s only one month left to this year’s Martin Duggan Memorial Swim and we’re really looking forward to it. There’s a slight pause on the improvement in the weather and increase in water temperatures but we’re hopeful that we’ll be back on track before too long. We’ve put together a map to inform you of the swim location/route, parking places and so on (click on the icons):


Don’t forget that entries are open and all you have to do is go to our Entry page to find out how to put your name in for the event…
