A group of swimmers based in County Derry say taking to the open water has had a positive effect on their mental health and wellbeing throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ballyronan Bluetits are based in the Loughshore village, but attract swimmers from all around the shores of Lough Neagh and beyond.
The group was formed in October 2020 by Mary O Hagan, whose enthusiasm for open water swimming is leading many others into taking the plunge.
