With over half of the Flatline crew involved in Ironman training this year its just too much for us to run this event this year and deliver it up to the Standards that we set.
We are going to bring the race back for 2015. Make it bigger and better if we can and try to make the Flatline Athlone Shannon Swim one of the biggest swim event on the calendar.
So, for the moment your organisers are swimming up and down the pool, making the Blooms our friends and running when we don't feel like it so there is not enough time left for Safety Plans, Sponsors, Prizes, Boats, Buoys, Buses, Castles, Insurance, River Flow and Temperature, Life Guards, Road Closures, Changing Tents, Toilets and all the other things that don't really get notice. Sure isn't it only an 'aul swim'.
It will be back but not for 2014.
