River Liffey at Dublin city centre.
Swimmers take part in a launch in the Liffey for “Swimming a Long Way Together”, a project by artist Vanessa Daws and curated by Rosie Hermon, which draws inspiration from 20th century pioneer swimmer Mercedes Gleitze. Events will take place across Ireland until Summer 2022. This launch event featured singers from Landless and swimmers from the Dublin Swimming Club.
