2022 Event Sponsor

We were delighted to welcome Stewart Construction once again as a key Christmas Swim sponsor for 2022. Since James Stewart started his construction company in Lower Salthill back in 1902, the company has completed many notable projects across the country. We particularly love that they built the iconic Blackrock Diving Tower in 1954 – the home of the COPE Galway Christmas Swim!
