Large crowds gathered for the annual New Year’s Day Swim at Marble Hill beach today in aid of the Bluestack Special Needs Foundation.
The charity swim, organised by Doe Amateur Swimming Club, kicked off at 2pm on Thursday, January 1.
The beloved tradition, which is celebrating its 48th year, brings together brave swimmers of all ages to plunge into the wild Atlantic waters of Sheephaven Bay, shaking off the old year and diving into the new with community spirit and sheer bravery.
Speaking to the Donegal News this afternoon, Laura Cassidy CEO of the Bluestack Special Needs Foundation, said: “We are very fortunate to have been chosen as the charity for the New Year’s Day swim this year.
“We are incredibly thankful to everyone for being here and coming out for us today.”
Previous dips have raised thousands for vital local causes, creating togetherness and generosity across Donegal.
