Killarney Triathlon Club’s open water swim on the lake

On Tuesday evening last, members of the Killarney Triathlon Club took part in a breathtaking open water swim, starting from Dundag Beach and spanning the middle lake to a nearby island. Covering a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometers, the event saw all participants return safely, basking in a well-deserved sense of accomplishment.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Killarney National Park, swimmers enjoyed views of woodlands, mountains, and Muckross House. Safety was paramount during the swim, as it is in all the club's events. Essential precautions included the use of tow floats, safety kayakers, and safety boats, ensuring the well-being of all participants.
"Our club is incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such a beautiful environment," said Caitriona Shanahan, PRO of Killarney Triathlon Club. "The views during our swims are truly spectacular, and the safety measures we implement help everyone feel secure and enjoy the experience."
Killarney Triathlon Club offers numerous benefits to athletes of all levels. These include structured training programs, expert coaching, group workouts and more.
"We welcome all levels and abilities. Joining our club not only improves physical fitness but also offers great fun and the added benefits of stress relief from sea swimming. There truly is nothing like the calming effect of a group swim in the sea." Caitriona added.
