The Finswim Expedition started out from Carrickfin Blue Flag beach on the North West Donegal Coast on 17th September 2020. Anrí Ó Domhnaill (Henry o Donnell) was aiming to attempt a finswim and circumnavigation of the entire coast of Ireland with support from his expedition team. He also aimed to raise €100k for two worthy charities, Irish Cancer Society (ICS) and Water Safety Ireland (WSI). They reached the half way point off the Waterford coast earlier this year raising €43K for the charities but unfortunately the event was seriously disrupted and suspended due to the covid pandemic. Anrí continued training and planning amid the uncertainty generated by the covid situation in the hope that the event could resume. Expedition Revival - after alot of hard work, serious planning by anrí and effort from the expedition team and support from the local community in Bunmahon , Dungarvan and other Waterford coastal areas , finswim is back on course along the south coast from Ardmore / Youghal area towards Ballycotton and onwards towards Valentia in the coming months. He reached south east of Kinsale this week. For more information on Henry's fundraising efforts visit: finswim2020.com
