    It is not necessary to join a club to do the swim. One of the organizers can get you registered with Swim Ireland to cover you for the swim if not already a member.

    I contacted swim Ireland and they said that I would have to join a swim club. I may get in touch with my local pool and see if I can organise it through that I guess

    i had to get a swim ireland number last year for taking part in some masters galas. they allowed me join and i paid about 15 euro which was a straight pass on of the swim ireland membership fee which was sound of them. i then swam under their name but was only a member in name.

    You will also have to provide a cover boat which will have to be a rib.
