Recent Achievements and Activities

The club has seen a growing number of participants in the Swim Ulster Development Galas. Several swimmers compete at Ulster and Irish qualifying levels, with qualifying times achieved for both the 2024 and 2025 seasons, including participation at competitions in Limerick and Dublin. Notably, one swimmer qualified for the 2025 Nationals in Dublin. Additionally, young swimmers have the chance to engage in Skills Meet and TalentID programmes.
