Swim Buoy Maintenance and Defibrillator setup

UPDATE: If we exceed the €2,000 target, any additional funds will go towards the buoy and defib maintenance costs for 2024, so we may not have to fundraise again.

Following an application submitted by myself and Bernard Lynch to Cork County Council, Myrtleville Swimmers have been approved for a grant of €3,900 towards the cost of maintaining and replacing the buoys, chains, ropes etc.

The full amount we’ve been quoted for this year for the buoy maintenance and replacements is €6,150. We have €1,250 from the support given to us by the Centra Crosshaven Challenge Triathlon. We need another €1,000 – as well as the €1,000 to cover the defibrillator.

A swim is planned on April 10 (Easter Monday) and we will shake out the buckets to look for contributions towards the shortfall of €2,000. If you can't get there, please contribute via this Fund page.

There are hundreds of us benefitting from the buoys and having the defibrillator is very reassuring. Be generous
