The funding for outdoor water swimming projects was revealed today
Deputy Michael Ring TD has confirmed that funding of €24,000 has been allocated for outdoor swimming facilities in Mayo.
The funds will be administered by Sport Ireland on behalf of the Department of Health.
This initiative, developed in line with the Healthy Ireland objective of enabling more people to be active more often, builds on the recent growth in popularity of outdoor swimming by improving the facilities and equipment at designated swimming locations across the county.
The €24,000 funding allocation to Mayo is for Ross and Kilcummin beaches at Killala and Eachleaim beach, Belmullet for the provision of swimming shelters at each location.
Deputy Ring explained how outdoor swimming has become ‘hugely popular’, particularly at these locations.
“It benefits our physical and mental health and is a growing social event for many people. Mayo has an abundance of scenic and ideal locations for open water swimming and with this funding, it will enable more people to avail of the amenities we have,” he added.
“Hopefully these works will commence as soon as possible so that swimmers will be able to enjoy the benefit of the shelters shortly” concluded Deputy Ring.
