Our swimmers have been on dry land for many weeks at this stage and have missed many training sessions, early morning rises and many competitions at all levels. We’ve sadly also missed our team competitions; the PTL galas and Aquasprints, so swimming news is thin on the ground.
Return to Swimming Update from Committee
As you may be aware, Swim Ireland published a ‘Return to Water’ roadmap last week (available online). We are currently taking advice and guidance from our Governing Body, Swim Ireland and from the management of Coral Leisure.
Due to restrictions and regulations that will be enforced; training for all our squads will continue to be suspended. At this present time, we are unsure when it will be possible for us to return to full training.
We will update you on the phases of the road map or any updates as they happen. But in the meantime, we ask all our members to adhere to the guidelines on social distancing.
Stay Active and Stay Safe.
