About the race

Test your endurance and open water skills at the Great Fjord Swim, the flagship event of the Gaelforce Great Swim Trilogy. Set in the crystal-clear Atlantic waters of Killary Fjord and surrounded by the rugged peaks of Connemara, this event offers a unique challenge for athletes seeking adventure. With wetsuit and non-wetsuit options, participants can choose from four distances: a 750m swim featuring a boat jump start in Ireland’s only fjord, up to a demanding 8km marathon route crafted for experienced open water competitors. Whether you’re tackling your first fjord swim or pushing your limits with a long-distance effort, you’ll enjoy world-class safety support and the unforgettable scenery of the West of Ireland.
