IRISH SWIMMER ANDREW Meegan broke the national 1,500m record by nearly 10 seconds today.
The 23-year-old secured a time of 15:00.88 at the European Short Course Swimming Championships in Denmark this morning, beating his previous record of 15:11.69 at the Irish Nationals earlier this month.
Commenting on his achievement, Meegan said: “It was a good swim. It felt good throughout but I possibly went out a bit slow at the start, there are a few things to work on for the next time so that’s a good thing but I was definitely happy with how it went.”
In addition, Barry Murphy and Fiona Doyle have qualified for the semi finals of the competition.
