Ned Denison's Marathon Swim Story

After my interview today with the esteemed, Ned Denison, I realized that I forgot to ask a few questions. One of my favorites, who's inspired Ned. He sent me a list almost as long as his swimming resume. And why does he keep going? Ned's a goal setter. "It gets me out of bed in the morning, and I sleep better," he says. And it seems that if you run out of known goals, you make up your own! Be sure to look up 'Marathon Centurian',  or Extraordinary Marathon Century Club, whose ranks Ned aspires.

When you have a 4 page swim resume like Ned, it's hard to know where to start, so we started like we do with every guest on marathon swim stories, at the beginning. And had time for a couple stories. I can't wait to have Ned back to dig into his many contributions to the sport.

In his own words: Ned Denison is Ireland’s most prolific marathon swimmers with 55 epic marathon swims (8 were first evers and only 4 swims were done more than once):   Record holder, Triple Crown, Ice Miler, 11 different Prison Island swims and the first to swim around the Great Island, Valentia Island and City of Cork.
