Event Details

Round Ireland Finswim Expedition (finswim2020-21) is one of the most inspiring, unique and challenging marine projects ever attempted in Irish Coastal Waters or in The Wild Atlantic. Expedition Leader and Finswimmer Henry O’Donnell ( Anrí Ó Domhnaill) from Carrickfin in the Donegal Gaeltacht, Ireland is the architect and creator of this pioneering project.
 
The idea and concept of solo swimming around the Irish coast were conceived by Henry as far back as 1990. He recovered from a life-threatening sports accident (which left him paralysed for some time) in 1992 and went on to complete a number of challenging land-based expeditions and sea swims to raise funds for charities and other worthy causes.
 
He loves sport in general, healthy living and has a close affinity with the sea and nature. He successfully completed demanding expeditions around the world in recent years including lowest to highest points on four continents; Africa, Europe, America and Australia – he is certain that finswim2020-21 will be equal or more challenging than many expeditions and adventures previously were undertaken.
 
The event was scheduled to start in June 2021. However, due to the COVID crisis, work situation and other factors it was necessary to reorganise. Henry decided to bring the expedition forward to 2020. As a result, the sponsorship plan had to be changed. He is appealing to Individuals, Businesses and the corporate sector to get behind the charity focused expedition to help from a sponsorship / financial perspective.
