As most will know, but might interest all new Piranhas, there is a charity swim called swim a mile With a Smile, in aid of sick children Barretstown,
www.barretstown.org and the Children ' s Cancer Research Centre at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin that takes place every year. This year its taking place this April the 24th&25th in the NaC (National aquatic Centre).I know it probably clashes with warm weather training but for all that remain no excuse is good enough. You could cycle out swim and cycle back. Great brick session might I say!
It is a great opportunity to get a 1600m swim under your belt which for the new ones will give great confidence in racing an olympic distance race and also nice chance to test out the world class swiming facility in Blanchardstown and its a great cause.
Lanes can be booked through this website:
http://swimamile.webnode.com/book-a-lane/. Its still early and there is loads of space to book but be warned that they fill up fast. For the last two years I have doing this event and booking those lanes but this year unfortunately I have college that weekend so you are on your own. But its simple, book a lane, get some people, select the option for donation cards and enjoy the swim. Brian and Laura Daly are two amazing people and will do everything to accommodate you!
To finish everything off you get free access to the watersliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiides!
