Over the weekend, we had 35 swimmers from the Swim Club head up to University of Galway's pool for an evening of racing.

We saw some great performances, PB's and lot's of improvement. Our swimmers showed us how hard they have been working in the water and on land to get to their respective levels.

We are looking forward to more outings like this where we can showcase the talent our swimmers have. Thanks to UG for a great evening and a massive well done to all our swimmers!!

Also a reminder that tonight we have our social night in Cask, bring your best halloween costume!

Our first teaming bonding session of the year took place last week in Castle Connell.  Our swimmers took a cold plunge into the River Shannon and warmed back up again in the serenity sauna. It was a great social and recovery session for everyone and no doubt we will be back again soon!

Last Thursday we had our first Team meeting of the year followed by our AGM. A huge thank you to everyone that came along. We had a full house as well as many joining in remotely.

We went over all our exciting plans for the year ahead, got to meet new and old members and socialise as a group outside of the pool.

Huge congratulations to our new committee for 2024/2025 who were elected on the night. Both new and old faces who are excited to work hard on behalf of the club for the year ahead.

We are looking forward to a busy and successful year ahead!

Welcome back everyone! 

Thank you to everyone who attended the CnS fair last Thursday. It was great meeting some new and old faces! 

Just a reminder that our assessment day for everyone is Monday the 16th of September (tomorrow!) at 21:45 in the pool. Anyone who is unsure what team they are in must attend this session in order to be assessed by the head coach. It will also be a great way to meet some new friends! 

Another reminder that our AGM is this Thursday the 19th of September at 7pm in KBG14 (Kemmy Business School Ground Floor Room 14). This is also another great way to meet some new friends and a chance to be on our committee for this season!
