A quick and well-deserved rundown of some of the Club's top performances
so far this year. We are only half way through the year and yet there are so
many great results as swimmers have gone from strength to strength.
Below are a
selection of some of the highlights. Because there were so many great swims,
the list is not exhaustive, but it’s a testament to how well the club has
performed in 2018.

IN THE SEA
Our accomplishments are not confined
to the pool. The Sea Swim season 2018 is well under way and Aer Lingus Masters are now
in fourth place for club of the year (ladies) and sixth for club of the year
(mens). Charlotte is currently in first place for swimmer of the year!
And last, but by no means least, we’d like to
give a huge congratulations to William Irwin on his successful channel swim
over the weekend! A tremendous accomplishment – well done Willie!

the club and help make it such a great community!
