The Big Swim for the Marie Keating Foundation

By Alison Dunne

Every donation makes a difference.

The Viking Sub Aqua Club is proud to dedicate our annual 2K Snorkel Swim in Loughshinny on Sunday 30 August 2026 to raising vital funds for the Marie Keating Foundation.

Like so many communities across Ireland, our members have been affected by cancer, whether personally or through family members, friends, colleagues or neighbours. We understand just how important it is to have access to trusted information, support and care during difficult times.

That's why we're supporting the Marie Keating Foundation and the incredible work they do for people and families affected by cancer across Ireland.

Through this year's Big Swim, we hope to raise €3,000 to help fund the Foundation's vital services and ensure that nobody has to face cancer alone.

We would be hugely grateful for any support you can give. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference.

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our page with friends, family and colleagues to help us reach our goal.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
