    The Marlin’s Swim Team Season ended a few weeks ago, but they’re still in the pool, swimming in support of their coach. Coach Keaton Brown says, “They’re more supportive you know than any other team that I’ve coached in the past.”

    Last fall Brown’s father Milton was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer called small cell carcinoma. Brown says, “I really felt helpless and really wanted to do something.”

    The alarm was raised at about 11.20am yesterday when the 35-year-old went swimming off Dalkey Island and did not return.

    A major search operation was launched and the Garda Water Unit pulled the man from the sea south of Sorrento Terrace.

    The man was airlifted to Tallaght Hospital, where he later died.
