[edit] Records

At the recent Irish Open SC Championships, Murphy broke the Irish 100m Freestyle record in a time of 48.97 and also the 100m IM record in a time of 55.88. One week later in the European Championships in Budapest he broke both the 50m Freestyle record in a time of 22.63, and also Earl McCarthys 10 year old record in 100m Freestyle in a time of 50.79. He also holds the record for being a lanky string of piss, which he also took from Earl McCarthy. It's a little known fact that Barry out swan Satan himself for the right to be able to swim. Believe it or not.

He also holds a number of Irish junior records including 50m Breaststroke.
