Jump To Comment: 1Hi all !
We had a fantastic day out yesterday on the banks of the Grand Canal in Inchicore - and the weather was unbelievable : it was like a summers day !
The actual 'build-up' for the swim started at 11AM , with the National Flag and three RSF/CABHAIR banners being put in place (facing the Naas Road) , the 'turf' fire being set-up , the music put on (The Pogues!) and the food and drink being laid out for anyone that wanted it .
Six or seven swimmers (can't be sure - was fairly busy making sure my own kids did'nt 'join' them!) took it in turns over about a 90-minute time span to variously swim the width or a (short-ish!) length of the canal , with a crowd of between 50 and 100 on-lookers cheering them on ! Each swimmer was offered a hot whiskey once they had decided not to swim again , and they stood around the blazing fire reviving themselves as best they could - it was a warm-ish day , weather wise , but still too cold to be standing on grass , in the open , wearing just your swimming togs ! It was around 3PM when the last of the (merry!) stragglers left the site , having dampened-down the fire and cleaned up whatever litter was left on the ground .
It broke-up the day nicely , enabled old friends to meet up again and raised , I am told , a couple of thousand Euro's for the families of Irish Republican prisoners . Time well spent !
Next year (on Christmas day again) the 30th such swim will take place - and , hopefully , I'll be there once more . Now - did I take to the water myself ... ?
Sharon.
