The CABHAIR organisation has confirmed four sponsored swimmers , so far , with two 'probables' and two 'possibles' : also confirmed is the arrival of 'Santa' , mince pies , swans in 'attack mode' , evil elves 'guarding' the gateway and a contingent of swimmers and on-lookers from far and wide.<br />
<br />
It's looking like this year's Swim will be as successful as the thirty-eight that have gone before it , and all in aid of the thirty-two.....<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Five swimmers have now been confirmed (including one from Australia!), and two 'probables'. Also, hundreds of leaflet 'packs' , each containing four printed items, have (and are) being distributed in the area on a house-to-house and pub-to-pub basis and the team delivering same are getting a great response. It's shaping up to be a lively event, regardless of the weather. The swimmers will definitely get soaked, but hopefully us on-lookers will only get damp!<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I thought it had general aid for prisoners aims.'Peace' is one of the overall objectives.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/105586#comment3006702015-12-15T18:12:43+00:00Sharon.Hi MacDara!

<br />
'Peace' would be one of the overall objectives, yes, as would an 'Éire Nua', and I believe the republican prisoners share that opinion. Can you swim, a chara?<br />

The 39th consecutive Cabhair Swim went ahead yesterday <em> almost</em> as planned - the organisers hadn't expected there to be as much water <em> outside</em> the canal walls as there was <em> inside</em> same, we were two swimmers down and, as well as 'High Water' from nature, we had State 'Hell' at the entrance point - a few words and pics can be accessed at the <em><strong> 'Related Link'</strong></em> , below.<br />

Thanks, <br />
