The 2014 Smile mile was held in Carlingford and again the sun shone – over 50 swimmers with a party atmosphere. The choice of a pier jump or the steps were given as the swim start with the choice of a fast or slow paced swim. Kayakers, boat crew and swimmers each had the smile mile emblem on their hand for the swim.
