Darragh Hughes travelled to Swansea as part of the Swim Ulster Regional Squad for the Swansea Aquatics Spring Long Course Meet in  back on the 11 March.

Darragh competed in the 100free, 100Brs, 200Brs, 50flyand 50brs events.  Darragh enjoyed the trip and the experience of another
International Gala, which will stand to him.

Well done Darragh.

Sean Greenan, representing Beech Hill College, competed at this meet as part of the Swim Ulster team last weekend in the NAC.

Sean qualified for this gala by coming 2nd in the Ulster
school’s gala in 200IM event (the top two in each race qualify).

As part of the Ulster school’s team, Sean competed in two relays and the 200IM event.  He was happy with his performance and enjoyed his day with the Ulster Interpro team.  Swim Ulster came second in this event with Swim Leinster taking the top spot.

A Great experience for him, well done Sean. 

Last Saturday 25th March, we had ten swimmers qualify for this gala on the foot of qualifying times achieved at the Ulster Schools gala back in October.

Swimmers who qualified for this All-Ireland gala to represent their schools were: Owen Fitzpatrick representing Gaelscoil Eois, Evin and Ellen Casey and Hugh Connolly representing Doohamlet NS, Sophia Vergano representing Darley NS, Éilís MacCinna and Síne Coyle swimming for Gaelscoil Ultain, Chalie Duffy representing
St.Michaels, Corcaghan and Dáithí and Rían Lynch swimming for Rackwallace NS.

What a great day they had, every one of them swimming a personal best time.  Rían took a gold medal in 50back which was a phenomenal achievement for him and his school.  Evin was in a close battle for the three podium places and ended up with a bronze medal in 50breast which was a brilliant result.  Owen swam two races and just missed out on a podium place in both, which is a fantastic achievement for this hard worker.  Hugh finished
in a strong 8 th place.

Great swimming by everyone, you should all be very proud of the great personal best times you achieved.

Ten swimmers made their way to Bangor Aurora pool over the course of the weekend for the Swim Ulster Long Course meet. Swimmers who attended were Aisling Duffy, Eimear Duffy, Rebekah Gillis, Sean Greenan, Kris Januskevic, Justas Jarusas, Adam Lynch, Aoibhín MacCinna, Katherine Ryan and Edvardas Zumaras.

This was a busy event with many swimmers taking part from all over Ulster.  Our swimmers did well in the main, some good pbs, some small pbs and some learnings to be taken away from the weekend also.

Thanks to Head Coach Pearse for attending and giving guidance and feedback to the swimmers and thanks to the Team Managers Kim and Sylvia.
