Irish Swimmer Planning A Record Breaking Swim

Fergal Sommerville has spent years preparing for this moment

An Irish long distance swimmer is planning a record-breaking swim around Inismor in the Aran Island's this month.


The 35 kilometre solo-swim against tides and weather, is expected to take between 12 and 14 hours to complete.


Dubliner Fergal Sommerville has spent years planning the swim - which is also raising funds for the RNLI.


He's been keeping up-to-date with recent reports of a Great White Shark off the Galway coast...


He says it wouldn't be his first 'jaws' encounter.
