7th Annual Atlantic Lifeboat Fundraising Swim took place on July 13th
Last weekend on Sunday, July 13th, the 7th Annual Atlantic Lifeboat Swim, sponsored by Atlantic Masters Swimming club, took place in Renville, Co. Galway.
FlexManager was proud to be a sponsor this incredible event once again, with all proceeds going to RNLI and the Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit.
Beginning just after 4pm on Sunday afternoon, there was a strong turnout of swimmers, with ideal weather conditions. Participants could choose do to a 2km swim looped around various buoys, or do a Novelty Swim that was approximately 250m in length. A very successful event for all involved!
We look forward to attending the Francis Thornton Galway Bay Swim next weekend, which will involve participants swimming from Aughinish, Co. Clare, to Blackrock Tower in Salthill, Co. Galway. FlexManager is also proud to sponsor this amazing event, which is celebrating it’s 20th year!
