A large crowd gathered after Mass on Christmas morning for Glanworth Bowling Club's annual Christmas swim at Glanworth bridge.

Tarran Kelly took to the water first in his kayak to check for any loose debris from trees etc., and with the green light from him, all swimmers stripped down and made the trip across the bridge. The swimmers lined up along the bank of the river and with a countdown they all jumped in together. Thankfully all made it safely across.

The morning may have been mild, but we must nevertheless say a big 'well done' to those who took part.
