i3 Open Water Swim

LITTLE FISH

Little Fish

The Little Fish event is for young swimmers aged 11-13 who want to be part of the i3 swim.  The swimmers will enter the water at the Twomilegate Pier and swim 100m to the Ballycuggran Beach where they will exit the water under the finish arch to a warm applause and finisher’s medal!

The event will start at the pier at 11:00; registration can be completed on the day at UL Activity Centre from 08:30 – 10:30.

This event is wetsuit only and swimmers should be comfortable in open water.  The water will be too deep to stand in places but safety kayaks and lifeguards will always be close by.

Little Splashers

This event takes place at the Ballina outdoor swimming pool at 12:00 on Sunday the 18^th.  It is open to young swimmers aged 7-10years who can swim 25m.  The swimmers will enter the pool in small groups and swim one full length once the length is complete they will exit the pool pull off their wetsuit, pop on their running shoes and sprint 100m to the finish line where they will receive a finishers medal.

Each swimmer must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the event, (they will not have to get in the water).  We will have lifeguards and stewards on duty at the pool to make sure everybody stays safe.

Registration for the race will take place at the pool at 11:30 and entry is Free!!
