All Smiles At The Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim


Ronan Collins, co-organizer with Kevin Thornton whose mother is the event namesake, won overall in 3 hours and 3 minutes, followed by Sorcha Barry and Susana Murphy, both in 3 hours and 4 minutes.


One notable finisher was Ernesto Antonio (5:22) who is survived – and flourished – as a heart transplant recipient. As a charity swim, over €160,000 has been raised for Cancer Care West as a result of this swim and its four earlier edition.
