Gaelscoil Na Mara kicks off 2017 Swim A Mile fund raising with €1,000

The 2017 Ian Daly Swim A  Mile event kicked off early on December 16th when 33 students from Gaelscoil Na Mara in Arklow completed the swim in the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin. Most of the students completed the swim in a relay as groups of two. There were also 9 brave students who completed the 64 length mile swim individually and were rewarded with a special ‘Ian Daly Swim A Mile’ swim cap.  As you can see from the pictures the swim went off very well and everyone had a great time. The school has raised over €1000 so far for our two charities, Crumlin Children’s Hospital and Barretstown.

Well done to all the swimmers and to the teachers who promoted the event in the school, led by Áine McKenna

2015 Proceeds of Swim

9th December 2015 / / 0 Comments

The Ian Daly Swim A Mile 2015 Proceeds have been presented to the charities

The 2015 Ian Daly Swim A Mile in aid of Child Cancer Care has once again been a very successful event. The main swim in the National Aquatic Centre was very well attended and enjoyed by all that were there. Also the satellite events around the country were also well attended. This is due to the fantastic efforts you all make and to the support of your generous sponsors. We really appreciate the effort you make to raise funds for our two worthy charities Crumlin Children’s Hospital and Barretstown.

At a recent ceremony in Crumlin hospital we presented cheques to the value of €34,200 to Crumlin Hospital and Barretstown. This is a fantastic increase on the funds raised last year and means that the Ian Daly Swim A Mile With A Smile has raised over €500,000 since it started.

This is a magnificent achievement that could not have been accomplished without your support.

If you still have sponsorship to return please lodge it to the charity account or post it to our address.

We hope that we have your continued support to ensure the continued success of the swim. Why not introduce a friend to the event in 2016? You know they will enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to raise funds for Crumlin and Barretstown .

Thank you for your support,

Brian & Laura Daly
