Celebrating 20 Years of the Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim

As we celebrate two decades of this incredible event, we want to take a moment to acknowledge one of the most crucial elements of the swim — safety on the water.

The Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit has played an essential role, helping to ensure a smooth and safe start and finish for all our swimmers, while overseeing more than 80 support boats across the bay.

A massive thank you to George, Fergus, Cillian, and all the past and present members of the unit who have selflessly given their time and expertise to support the swim and Cancer Care West.

Your calm presence and professionalism help make this event possible — we are so grateful for everything you do 🙏”
