Lough Arrow Christmas Day Swim 2020 

This year we should have been celebrating our 20th
anniversary of the Lough Arrow Christmas Day Swim. Due to the ongoing pandemic
and with heavy hearts we have been forced to cancel this year’s swim. While the
plan is to return with an even bigger and better event in 2021 the fact remains
that the North West Hospice still needs our help. Since the very first swim back in 2001 we, as a community,

have raised over €208,000 for the North West Hospice in Sligo. The Hospice is
an amazing resource, and we are so lucky to have them and the funds that we
raise for them are important and always put to good use. 

Just because the Christmas Day Swim is not   happening this year does not mean that the
North West Hospice does not need our help anymore. Almost of all of their
fundraising activities have been impacted by COVID-19. Now, more than ever,
they need whatever help you can give them. This is why we will be setting up an
online fundraising page to try and support them. Please give whatever you
can. 

By donating you will be helping the North West Hospice keep
their doors open and continue to provide the wonderful service that we are so
lucky to have in our area. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been invovled in making the Christmas Day Swim a tradition that we all love and look forward to every year. We are not going away, we're just pressing pause for a year.  Please keep an eye on your Facebook page for some surprises between now and Christmas.
