The first events of the day were Raft Races -the first time for such events to be held here - with many make-shift rafts taking place. This proved to be a huge success and it is hoped that this event will be even bigger and better as the years progress.  Various swimming races were then run off for the young and old before the climax of the evening - the Water Polo Matches.  2 teams for the Junior Event and 4 teams took part in the Senior Event - 5 on each team - the Golden Oldies coming out victorious in the Senior Team

Secretary, Margaret Downey-Harrington was busy taking names of competitors aided by helpers Helen Healy, Ann O'Sullivan and Lil McCarthy.  A very busy bar-b-que point kept everyone fed and cold soft drinks were also available to quench the thirst from the hot summer's day - ably run by Kevin and Lisa Downey.  Seating was provided by the committee for the comfort of the spectators and traffic to and from the event was well managed - an all round well run event.

The Chairman Denis Regan and hard-working committee presented a cheque for 400 Euros to Mr. Joe Turner, Treasurer of the Castletownbere Fundraising RNLI Committee - net proceeds from the Annual Christmas Swim.
