AFTER A JOURNEY that spanned five months and 17 days, 27-year-old Daragh Morgan has become the first person to complete a tidal-assisted swim around the coast of the island of Ireland.

Morgan, aided by his small team, began the swim in May after years of preparation, hoping to be the first person to complete the undertaking and secure the world record. Initially, the team had hoped the swim would be wrapped up within four months.

This was not the case.

Morgan spoke to The Journal back in June when he had the first 100km of the swim under his belt, and this week, with the swim done and dusted, he reflected on the time since.
