About this Event
BOYNE SWIM in association with Lennon Solar
Drogheda Triathlon are excited to welcome you back to the Boyne Swim in association with Lennon Solar, Saturday August 1st 2026, start time 2pm.
The swim is now a highly anticipated annual event for both open water swimmers and triathletes. Competitors vie for the beautiful perpetual trophies for overall Senior & Minor Male and Female swimmers, commissioned by Drogheda Port Company and designed by local sculptor Ronan Halpin. Additionally, we offer prize categories for both wetsuit and skins swimmers.
The swim course covers a distance of 2.7 km, starting in Mell Drogheda and finishing at The Boyne Fishermen Boathouse on Marsh Road. Along the route, you'll swim through Drogheda Port, passing under six bridges: The Bridge of Peace, Dominick's Bridge, Haymarket Bridge, St. Mary's Bridge, Hugh de Lacy Bridge, and finally the Viaduct Bridge, with the finish line just southeast of the Viaduct Bridge.
Ray Donagh of the Boyne Swim says, “Drogheda Triathlon Club invite you to take part in this majestic swim in the River Boyne through the historic town of Drogheda and see it like you never saw it before. We are looking forward to launching the event and promoting it to a much wider audience so that they can experience the wonder of open water swimming.”
"As someone who has participated in the Boyne Swim for the last number of years, I know firsthand just how special this event is to our local community. At lennon solar, we are incredibly proud to come on board as the title sponsor this year. There is a natural alignment between what we do and the spirit of the swim, promoting a healthy, active lifestyle and supporting community well-being, while driving a cleaner, more sustainable future for the region. I'm looking forward to diving in on August 1st and celebrating a fantastic event with everyone."– Chris Lennon, Managing Director, Lennon Solar
