Superman Steve bids to bring elite swimmers to South-West

Record-breaking marathon swimmer Steve Redmond plans to make Ireland a global hub for the sport.

Ballydehob-based Steve, who became the first person to complete the gruelling Oceans 7 challenge earlier this year, now hopes to attract other elite marathon swimmers to the stunning waters off the South-West.

“We have some of the finest open water swimming in the world. We have beautiful water and it’s there to be taken. There is huge untapped potential out there.”
