“Our Thanks also go to Mid And East Antrim Council who provide barriers and have the Harbour area well organised for swimmers and spectators.

"After everyone is back on terra firma, they should make their way to the Bridge Bar lounge where there will be a presentation of certificates and medals.

“When the presentations are completed, there will be a social gathering.”
