Rattlin’ Rathlin – And that she did

A Flat calm at the start, a little rattle of turbulence in the middle and flat calm at the end that’s the words used to describe today’s swim completed by Swiss open water marathon distance swimmer Sabrina Wiedmer as she made landfall on the shores of Ballycastle after completing the historical and epic swim across the Rathlin Sound in a time of 2.09.31 in 10.5c waters.

The Team at Infinity Channel Swimming revived this great swim first attempted by open water swimming great Jack McClelland in 1959 and last completed by Gary Knox in 2010.

Congratulations to Sabrina who was supported by crew member and open water champion Olive Conroy.

Amazing people do amazing things
