5km Charity Swim Challenge

Our 5km swim is back as your first  challenge of 2024: On Sunday January 14th starting at 1000 we will come together to each swim 5km or 100 lengths of UL’s 50M pool.

Never done it before? Don’t worry it’s very achievable.

We have a group swimming in each lane – the group will do a TT format or ‘train’ swim

Starting in the order A-B-C-D-E-F, swimming at an even pace after 100M / 2 lengths swimmer A drops  to the back and the order is now B-C-D-E-F-A, after the next 100M /2 lengths swimmer B drops back and the next leader will be C-D-E-F-A-B and so the chain continues.

The pace will be easy, it’s a challenge not a race and we will be swimming so that everyone gets a draft – it’s 5km for everyone.

After their lead, the swimmer will have 30-40 seconds to get a rest & drink before you go to the back of the chain.

Cost €20 per swimmer on the day
