The inaugural Great Ulster Swim will be held in Camlough Lake on July 26th in concert with the 750m GLOW Summer’s Night Swimat 11 pm. “We hope to encourage our next generation into open water swimming and to a lifetime of adventure in the water,” says the Team at Camlough Lake. “This 1-mile swim is a great introduction to outdoor swimming and it is suitable to all abilities where you can swim in a wetsuit or in traditional swimming togs.”

Funds from The Great Ulster Swim will go towards the purchase of safety equipment and facilities for sport at and around Camlough Lake and Carlingford Lough.

Prize money is offered to the first (£300), second (£200) and third place (£100) swimmers.
