Since 1989, the sight of brave souls diving into the Atlantic at Lahinch on Christmas morning has become a cornerstone of the Clare festive season. Originally founded by PJ Crotty and John Fawl, this tradition continues today through their families, carrying on a legacy of local generosity. This year, at 12 noon, the waves will be filled with swimmers once again, all raising vital funds for the Little Blue Heroes Foundation, a charity that turns courageous children battling serious illnesses into Honorary Gardaí. To tell us about the history of the swim and the 'heroes' it supports in Liscannor, Inagh, and beyond, Alan Morrissey had a chat with Clíona Fawl and Garda Niamh Keogh on Tuesday's Morning Focus.
