Jump To Comment: 2 1Hi !
Myself and one of the little ones came down two days ago with what she delightfully (!) calls the 'belly-wobbles' and , as a result , both of us stayed away from the Cabhair swim : not only were we definitely not up to going out , but it would also have been unfair of us to attend the event and risk passing the 'bug' on to anyone else .
In the last few hours I spoke to two people that were present at the event , and I'm told all went according to plan . The weather was misty and damp , though not raining or cold , the canal water was wet (!) and freezing and a crowd of about 100 people turned-out to watch the proceedings and shout encouragement at the swimmers (eight of them altogether) . Four members of the Special Branch took up position at the main (Naas Road) entrance to the swim site and a further two Special Branch members stood across the Lough on the far side of the canal - the dozens of people coming to the event from either of those two directions were stopped and roughly questioned by one or other of those six operatives . This happens every year .
The usual mince pies , crisps , sweets, lemonades and various beers , lagers , ales and whiskeys were served-up to all on-lookers and swimmers by the organisers , and a couple of swans that wandered on to the swim site out of curiosity were 'bribed' with tasty tit-bits and so kept their distance !
All in all , a day well spent . Paula from 'Indymedia' captured some great pictures of the proceedings -
