They’re a formidable duo who have literally pooled their talents to make Cork the Hollywood of open water swimming, and with a bit of help, could win the global recognition they deserve.

Eilís Burns, swimming coach extraordinaire, is among just 15 women worldwide nominated for the 2018 World Open Water Swimming Association (WOWSA) Woman of the Year Award while Ned Denison, a dual UK/US citizen living in Ireland for two decades, is nominated for the equivalent male accolade.
