Investment at Myrtleville key to the safety of Cork open water swimmers

In 2019, a set of large, bright yellow swim distance markers were installed at Myrtleville, marking out a 1,350m circuit.

A fundraising campaign was initiated to cover the remaining cost of the buoys with regular Myrtlevillians stepping up to the mark. A community grant of €2k was also received from Cork County Council.

All swimmers were advised that the six new safety buoys were laid out specifically to encourage swimmers to follow the set route to keep them safe.
