Swimmers set to tackle toughest test

“BIG seas, strong winds but a beautiful coastline” is how one diary entry describes the experiences of the team that is set to make history as the first to swim around the entire country.

Fresh out of the water at Baltimore yesterday evening, team member Nuala Moore was looking forward to two days of rest before turning the last corner and heading north along the west coast.

After passing the halfway point at Kinsale two days ago, the team had to fight big swells yesterday.
