IAC and Eirtech are proud to support the Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim taking place Saturday, July 20th.
The Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim is a charity swim event held in July each year. The swim traverses Galway Bay – approx 13 km distance. The swim from Aughinish in Co. Clare to Blackrock Diving Tower in Salthill is one of the longest (and friendliest) open-water swims in Ireland and is the only bay swim crossing on the Wild Atlantic Way.
All swimmers are asked to raise sponsorship for their charity partner Cancer Care West and we are proud to play a small part by sponsoring one of the swimmers.
Each year, approx. €100,000 is raised, bringing the total amount raised to date to over €1.2 million.
Wishing all the swimmers the very best of luck on Saturday, July 20th .
