notices saying "No swim ming" along the canal banks. The canal is dangerous for swimming: although relatively clean, weeds and submerged debris could cause a fatal accident. But the canal is also attracting midnight bathers and last Wednesday night residents aloog Canal Road were awakened by shouts of joy and screams of delight as a crowd of young people cooled off in the canal. Whether it was the fact the swimmers were naked or the amount of noise they were making or a combination of both when the Gardai arrived the scramble to safety was so extraordinarily fast that, so we are told, they would have won any Olympic event. There has been no mid night swimming there since.
