‘Myrtleville Selkies’ to swim English Channel for Cork University Hospital

Six Myrtleville friends are this week planning to swim twice across the English Channel to raise money for the children’s unit in Cork University Hospital.

The ‘Myrtleville Selkies’ are making final preparations for the first leg of the swim, this Friday, to France.

Considered the Everest of swimming, the relay channel swim is expected to take 40 hours, with the group entering the water at Dover and returning in the weekend ahead.
