The next Martin Duggan Memorial Swim will take place on Friday, 6 June 2014 at Ashe Quay, Fermoy. This page contains an explanation of the participant criteria, the entry fees for this year’s swim, instructions on how to enter and useful downloads.

Participant Criteria:

All swimmers who have competitive membership of a Swim Ireland-affiliated club or are members of any FINA-affiliated body and will be aged 12 years or older on the day of the swim are eligible to swim once they agree to the Event Waiver (on entry form).

  2. In addition to all of 1. above, all swimmers who will be aged 17 years or younger on the day of the swim must have parental consent to swim. The parents/legal guardians of these swimmers must sign the Parental Consent Form and return it to the event director in advance of the swim.

Entry Fees:

  • Swimmers who will be aged 18 years or older on the day: €15.00
