In 2022, we had 125 swimmers cross Galway Bay, (44 solo swimmers, 25 relay teams (81 relay team swimmers). The swimmers were supported by over 80 boats and 100 crew in the bay. For the final 100 metres into Blackrock diving tower, paddle boards guided the swimmers home along with many more supporters and volunteers on the land. The swimmers’ safety on the crossing is provided by a team of local boat captains, sailors, fishermen, Civil Defence, Oranmore-Maree Coastal Rescue, Doolin Coast Guard, and the RNLI.
