Arriving back at between 11.30 and 12.30 the local AhakistaSamba will welcome them back to the beack where hot food, warm welcomes and cool drumming will lift the spirits and warm the swimmers!

The lifeboat swim has now contributed over 5000 euros to the RNLI (5125) and the fund is still active.
Mary Couglan is doing a gig in the Tin Pub http://www.tinpub.com in aid of RNLI.
Thanks so much for all the support from Ahakistasamba, Sponsors, Helpers, Swimmers and all who turned out to make this a super successful fun day out!
