44-year-old Jenny Leigh Smith was escorted by Pádraig Mallon and husband Will Smith at Infinity Channel Swimming between Northern Ireland and Scotland.

“[I am] relieved,” posted the swim coach and yoga instructor on Facebook about her crossing from Northern Ireland to Scotland. “To a castle no less.

The water was cold, but my heart was warm. So grateful for the love and support from friends and family and long live the Donaghadee Chunky Dunkers. I hold you all in my heart. My Infinity Channel Swimming crew was amazing, Gary navigated me around the jellies and is the best cheerleader ever. Pádraig was at the helm and made me feel secure.”
