Kinvara Swimming Clubs’ early years, Greasy Pole, Quay Galas, Green Island Swim memories,. Does handing Paddy Geraghty 50p on the swimming bus evoke a memory of a bygone era when Kinvara kids went swimming in their droves? Were you an avid swimmer in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s or 90’s? Do you have any memories, pictures, stories about the formation of Kinvara Swimming Club or the Galas that were held at the Quay?

If so, Kinvara Regional Pool Committee want to hear from you! Any trivia, no matter how small is appreciated. Kinvara has a long history of swimming and we want to chronicle how this came to be.

We are holding an information gathering weekend in Kinvara Community Centre on Saturday March 11th and Sunday March 12th from 5-8pm. Please come along and share your swimming-based memories, photos, certificates of the past so that we can collate this information into a pamphlet.

For further information or if you want to share anything in advance, please email kinvarapoolcommittee@gmail.com
