Paddy Conaghan: 80-year-old plans to swim at every Irish beach and pier in two months for charity

Now, he’s driving south along the Atlantic coast in his small van, trying to cram quick swims in at as many stops as possible each day.

Breakfast is typically steak and eggs in the back of his van. At night, he says he usually has two pints of Guinness at a local hostelry, before retiring to his improvised bed in the van.

  • Good luck to him! 80 years old and swimming in December :+1:

He’s looks good.And he’s had a tough life.They don’t make them like that anymore:)

He doesn’t look close to his age.
