Entries are closing shortly for corporate teams to get in the water and enter the Swim For A Mile Challenge at the National Aquatic Centre on April 5th.
The 2016 event saw 1,500 people dive into pools around the country including 20 corporate teams from companies such as Google, RTE, KBC Bank and many more.
This years event includes a corporate challenge once more. Teams consisting of four swimmers compete in a relay swimming 400 metres each and bidding to beat the time set by their fellow companies, at the same time raising money for Special Olympics Ireland.
Entertainment and refreshments will be provided on the day for all in attendance to enjoy.
Do you have what it takes to be crowned the 2017 Swim For A Mile Corporate Challenge Champion?
With swimming the third most popular form of physical activity in Ireland, behind exercise and running in the latest Irish Sports Monitor report from Sport Ireland, it is likely that you will have swimmers in your company.
In fact if you have a five a side soccer team it should be easy as there are 70% more swimmers in the general population that there are active footballers.
The deadline for entries is Wednesday, March 29th and the cost per team is €100 with half the entry fee going to the events charity partner for 2017 Special Olympics Ireland.
