The 92nd Dublin City Liffey Swim, sponsored by Dublin City Council, took place last Saturday morning, 18th August. Dublin’s Lord Mayor Naoise O’Muirí was on hand to officially start both the men’s and women’s races. 274 swimmers took part in this year’s race – 174 men and 100 women. Tom Loftus took the honours for the men’s race and Clodagh Nolan for the women’s.

This year, the race took a shorter 1.6 kilometre course from the Butt Bridge (Tara Street), beside the Custom House, to the East Link Bridge. Traditionally the race takes place over a 2.4 kilometre course from Watling Street Bridge, beside the Guinness Brewery, to the Dublin Docklands (Custom House Quay).
