Long-distance swim in Waterford raises €5k for lifeboat service

Dolphins accompanied a group of long-distance swimmers on much of their fundraising route across Tramore Bay, Co Waterford, in aid of the local lifeboat service.

More than 20 men and women competed in the 4.2km challenge from Brownstown Head to Guillamene.

Over €5,000 was raised for the Tramore RNLI service as a result of their efforts with the swim, which has been an annual event since 1931.
