Historic Swim in the Liffey River |
Liffey bridge Dublin, Co. Dublin |
When this swim began in the 1920's, the Liffey was probably quite pleasant to actually swim in. While the river looks rather gloomy these days, some 400 people still swim annually from Watling Street Bridge to the Custom House. Taking place in August, it's an important commemorative event for the city, and the swimmers involved have already gone through qualifying races to make sure that they are able to go the distance. Supporters usually show they too mean business by dressing up in all manner of fancy dress. A bizarre day out! Review © 2009, Wcities |
