Sea swimming has become all the rage in recent years and there are more than a few lovely places to engage in it this summer.

Ireland has 98 Blue Flag beaches in all. How many have you swam at?

Well after being faced with that question, Biddy Hughes and Orla Leahy decided to swim all 98 to raise money for the RNLI.

They’re currently on the northwest leg of the challenge, and Biddy Hughes joins Seán to discuss.
