The Boeing New Year’s Day swim 2012

The Boeing swim committee wish to thank each and every one who supported the  2012 swim especially our brave swimmers and supporters who came out  and  made today such a huge success, well done!
A special thank you to the LTV 2 team (Seanie, Willie and Brendan), to John Tarrant from the Corkman and Eilly Buckley and County Sound 103 FM who gave us great support with advertising and in getting information out to the public so quickly, many thanks.
We would like thank our generous sponsors who supported us again this year, The Bush Bar,Tarrant’s Bar and Super Valu Millstreet.
We the committee acknowledge and appreciate that the Boeing swim could not and would not be the success it is without the support, goodwill and hard work that is so generously given by all.
With the help of god we will all be there again next year. Health,wealth,peace and happiness to you and yours for 2012.
