In what we think was the first post-lockdown mass participation open water swimming event in England, the annual Across Mersey Swim took place on Saturday 18 July with around 170 swimmers completing the approximately 1-mile swim.
Event organiser, Liam Hanlon, says putting all the necessary permissions and procedures in place was “tricky”.
This was the 27th year for the modern Across Mersey Swim, and the 17th with which Mr Hanlon hasbeen involved.
