11-year-old Liam Daly successfully completed his 7km swim today from Ċirkewwa, Malta to Mġarr ix-Xini, Gozo.

Joined by the legendary athlete Fabio Spiteri, Daly took just over two hours to complete the channel crossing – and he did it all with the intention of raising awareness on marine plastic pollution.

Liam is an active and determined Shamrock Stars athlete and a Year 8 National Sports School student, with a deep passion for the sea.

During his swims, Liam aims to raise awareness on marine debris in the sea, as plastic pollution continues to be an unsurmountable issue in today’s day and age.

This time round, Liam also collected money for Nature Trust Malta, an entity that produces amazing work in relation to Malta’s biodiversity.
