The Sandycove Island Swimmers of Cork, Ireland recently launched its new website.
From the small population base, the Sandycove Island community has developed 16 English Channel soloists and hosts a 10-day Distance Swimming camp in the spring headed by 2010 World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year nominee Ned Denison.
Sandycove Island has become a well-established proven training ground for English Channel solos and other marathon swims and with its mission now public, it is bound to create a marathon swimming vortex that will draw in an even greater number of athletes.
As it states on its website, Sandycove Island Swimmerse is a state of mind as well as place.
