Words: Coach Alan Turner.
Well done to everybody who took part in their first swim meet of the year.
It was a very positive weekend with so many swimmers recording massive PBs. As a club we are used to a consistently high level of performance, something I’m sure we’ll maintain throughout the year.
The outstanding performance of the weekend came from Conor Turner in capturing a new Irish Junior record in the 800m Free. The swim was even more remarkable considering he swam it in a negative split (faster second half). Andy Meegan collected a hat-trick of first place finishes, including a world class 1500m swim. Special mentions also to Rachel Nevin’s big PB in the 400m Free and Sinead McCrohan’s first 1500m at 12 years of age!
Overall, I could put the whole squad down on the list of outstanding performances. Special thanks to Paolo, Jonny, Annie and all our B Group coaches for their hard work in developing this talented group of swimmers.
Thanks for that Alan, it was a great start to the beginning of season. Well done team. Sheila
