#LiffeySwim - The 98th Liffey Swim on Saturday (9 September) was a double for Dublin Swimming Club, according to BreakingNews.ie.
Colin Monaghan and Anne Marie Bourke won the men’s and women’s races respectively over the 2.2km course from the Rory O’Moore Bridge at Croppies Acre to the Loop Line Bridge.
Nearly 500 swimmers took part in the near-century-old institution, now run annually by Leinster Open Sea Swimming and the only swimming race through a European capital, says TheJournal.ie.
