The record for the youngest swimmer to swim across Tramore Bay from Brownstown Head to the Guillamene was set last weekend only to be broken ten minutes later in a display of sibling rivalry.The swim across a bay famous for its storms and shipwrecks was undertaken by the Swift brothers Deici (11) and Art (9) from Patrick Street, Tramore.They were accompanied by their father Jim and grandfather Declan Swift in two kayaks.The boys achievement was supported by their father’s great experience since the age of 15,  of having swam the Bay over 20 times with a best time of 65 minutes.Jim Swift also swam the English channel when he was 20 years old and famously circumnavigated Ireland in 30 days on a paddle board seven years ago for charity.The boys and their mother Meadhbh joined Ollie and Dymphna on air this morning, August 25th, for a full rundown of how it went.
