Steve may swim again after attempt called off

Endurance swimmer Steve Redmond says he may consider a second crack at the 80km Ireland-Wales swim after abandoning yesterday’s attempt for medical reasons.

Mr Redmond’s support team leader, Noel Browne, said: “Steve will take a few days to rest and recover and won’t make any decisions until then.

“But you know Steve. He may try again, but this one is a real challenge.”
