- There lived a man in the townland of Crott, who was a famous swimmer, and his named Paddy Reilly. One day he met a man named Tom Gray at Lough Nabrack.
He made a bet with this man that he would swim across the lake and back again in less then ten minutes. He swam across the lake and back again to the same man in less then ten minutes. This man was supposed to be the best swimmer in the county. The above information was told to me by a man named Mick Mc Naboe.
