  • The Liffey Swim
    The Liffey Swim: The 1960’s Decade – Part 1 1960 – 1962 Cyril J Smyth Dublin University Central Athletic Club, Sports Centre, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Dublin 2 Introduction The provision of life-saving and swimming facilities in the form of public baths was no better at the start of the decade than it had been in 1920 when the Liffey Swim was inaugurated. The only baths built by Dublin Corporation, the Tara Street Baths, dated from 1886. The Iveagh Baths on Bride Road, which had been built by the Iveagh Trust, were opened in 1906. J.J. “Jack” Kennedy, the first winner of the Liffey Swim, described the situation as “civic indifference to the sanctity and safety of human life that is incomprehensible”, given the annual death toll by drowning.1 The 1950’s had ended with a series of wins and top three placings by teenagers in the Liffey Swim. It was a trend that was to continue in the 1960’s. The 1960’s became the decade of precocious teenage swimming. In addition to the Independent Cup and Gold medal for the winner of the Liffey Swim, a trophy was introduced for the club team competition, which had been inaugurated in 1934 – a silver mahogany-mounted shield, presented by Independent Newspapers Ltd. The 1960 Liffey Swim The maximum handicap was set at 3½ min2,3, with twelve limit men and one scratch man, Rory O’Connor (Club Snámha Columcille, red cap), a 6ft 2 in (1.88 m) 18-year-old, the Leinster 200 m and 400 m champion and winner of the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Race the previous week.4–6 The shorter handicaps were influenced by the fact that the race start time was one hour after full tide, the heavy flow giving greater assistance to the swimmers.

  • The Liffey Swim
    The Liffey Swim: The First Thirty Years 1920–1949 Cyril J Smyth Dublin University Central Athletic Club, Sports Centre, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Dublin 2 Like the Oxford v Cambridge boat race on the Thames, the Liffey Swim is an unique event which has been held continuously since 1920 on the River Liffey, except for four years 1936–1939, inclusive. Since its inauguration it has been hailed as a free-to- watch event in the centre of Dublin, with claims of between 20,000 to 100,000 spectators in its early years. In Irish swimming circles winning the Liffey Swim came to be viewed as equivalent to winning the Grand National or the Derby in English horse racing. It was and still is one of the most distinctive competition events in the world of swimming and one of the longest annual competition distances in swimming in these Islands. So how did the idea of a swimming race in the River Liffey come about? Origins When the Liffey Swim was inaugurated there was only one long-distance swim in Ireland, the annual race over approximately a mile from Dún Laoghaire East Pier [then Kingstown East Pier] to Sandycove Point, initiated in 1905, which was an institution with the forty-footers.1 The nearest to contemporary account of the beginnings of the Liffey Swim is that given by Henry F. Brennan in 1936.2 In 1920 he was Hon. Secretary of the Leinster Branch of the Irish Amateur Swimming Association.

    The Liffey Swim: The 1960’s Decade – Part 3 1966 – 1967 Cyril J Smyth Dublin University Central Athletic Club, Sports Centre, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Dublin 2 Introduction The second half of the 1960’s saw the emergence of a Liffey Swim child prodigy – Francis ‘Chalkey’ White – whose name became synonymous with the making of many newspaper headlines and the breaking of Irish swimming records. Other teenage swimmers whose names were now familiar to the public at large continued to blossom – Donnacha O’Dea and Anthony Brophy. Under-age swimming championships were introduced which greatly encouraged participation in swimming. The decade would close with the opening of a new Corporation swimming pool in Dublin, Linn Snámha Markievicz. The 1966 Liffey Swim The youngest competitor ever to face the starter at Guinness’s Wharf, Watling Street Bridge (Rory O’More Bridge) in a Liffey Swim to that date was accompanied by six other swimmers off 1 min on 10 August, 1966 at 7.00 pm.212–214 Francis White (Guinness SC), nick-name ‘Chalkey’, of Benbulben Road, Drimnagh, a pupil at Moyle Park College, Clondalkin, was probably unknown to most of his fellow competitors and almost all of the spectators lining the quays and the bridges that evening. By 7.30 pm he was to emerge from obscurity from the River Liffey waters to Liffey Swim fame, a name on the lips of everyone which would appear in the next day headlines of the morning newspapers. ‘Chalkey’ White had, however, been obtaining a striking reputation in under-age swimming championships,

    The Liffey Swim: The 1960’s Decade – Part 4 1968 – 1969 Cyril J Smyth Dublin University Central Athletic Club, Sports Centre, Trinity College, University of Dublin, Dublin 2 The 1968 Liffey Swim The question on everyone’s lips for one of Dublin’s greatest free shows, the 49th edition of the Liffey Swim, was whether or not ‘Chalkey’ White could pull off a hat-trick of wins.323–325 The well-known Liffey Swim handicapper Frank Donegan, had a healthy respect for the young prodigy’s swimming prowess. While White’s win in 1966 had surprised everyone, his win for the second year in succession from the scratch mark in the fastest time had been a sensation. The 13-year-old Guinness SC star would now concede 6½ minutes to the limit men versus 5 minutes the preceding year.323–325 Apart from ‘Chalkey’ White, four other former winners were toeing the start line – Tony Byrne (1962, Half Moon SC, handicap 3½ min), Colm O’Brien (1963, Half Moon SC, handicap 2½ min), David Page (1964, formerly North Dublin SC, now Marian College SC, handicap 1 min 20 sec), and Pat Kelly (1965, Guinness SC, handicap 1½ min).323–325 White had placed 2nd in the ½-mile Nore Swim in the fastest time.326,327 Byrne, Page and O’Brien were now familiar names in water- polo circles.323 Colm O’Brien was a regular selection for Ireland in water-polo internationals, having made his debut in 1966.328 Donnacha O’Dea was an absentee, as he was training in England to try to qualify for the Games of the XIX Olympiad in Mexico City.323 There were two interesting entries from Galway SC, the Cunningham brothers, Michael and David.
