As always, the event was a fundraiser for the RNLI and the Bundoran crew were on hand in the water and on the pier.

The crew at Salthill Cabin were extremely busy making hot chocolate, tea and coffee for the swimmers and their supporters after the event, adding to the celebratory atmosphere at this increasingly popular new year event.
