Watch: Training session goes swimmingly well for young Kerry footballer
February 23, 2021
Glenflesk's Damien Switzer makes a splash!
Recent heavy rainfall has left many GAA grounds across the country badly affected by flooding - one of the worst hit was Glenflesk in Kerry, with the training pitch completely submerged in water.
But a couple of feet of floodwaters wasn't going to stop 19-year-old 'Flesk footballer Damien Switzer from togging out and doing a bit of training - and swimming.
Damien, who is studying PE pre-teaching at Kerry College, has gone viral after posting a video of his unique cross-training session on TikTok.
He can be seen diving head first into the water and swimming after the ball before stroking over the bar!
Now that's commitment...
