Annual Nore Swim takes place in Kilkenny this morning

The annual Nore Swim takes place in Kilkenny this morning.

Registration started at 9:45 in front of the library in the city, with the swim itself getting underway at 11am.

It’s open to anyone over 13 years of age and organisers have tried to make sure that nobody will feel out of their depth with separate races for men, women and those who just want to do it for fun.

All funds raised from the swim will go to the Carlow/Kilkenny homecare team.
