As
part of The Irish Maritime Festival, Drogheda Triathlon Club will
host the Boyne Swim 2017 (start time 12:50pm (subject to
change))
The Inaugural Boyne Swim took place in 2014 and was a
huge success with 150 swimmers taking up the challenge of completing
the 2.7km course. In 2015 the numbers grew and the Boyne Swim is now
a highly anticipated annual event for both open water swimmers and
triathletes alike competing for the beautiful perpetual trophies for
overall Male, Female, Junior Male and for 2017 a new Junior Female
Category, which were commissioned by Drogheda Port Company and
designed by local sculptor Ronan Halpin.
This event is open to
Wetsuit & non-Wetsuited swimmers. As the swim is taking place in
early summer the water temperature in the river can vary from 10 to
13 degrees Celsius. Weather conditions on the day may also have an
impact on the water temperature, therefore swimmers are encouraged to
wear a wetsuit but those who are brave enough to wear togs are very
welcome!
All participants will receive a with a Swim Hat
and T-Shirt
