Limerick,Christmas Day Swim ,Corbally Baths + "There is an Isle"

Christmas day swim limerick.
Christmas Day 12.15 pm 2007 ,my second visit takes me from the exciting run to the annual Christmas Day swim at the Corbally Baths.It is with envy every year we see on the RTE Newsabout all the people in Dublin taking the plunge ,here in Limerick there have people taking the plunge but no coverage so i decided it 's time to put that right today and give them coverage on the net.

1st time seeing this brings back memories it is a great pity that the swim no longer takes place due to the condition of the baths limerick city corporation should act to clean it up

So this is the secret to getting into an All-Ireland - we'll have to get our hurlers into the Shannon further upstream! Great video.
