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 2025 and 2026 seasons, including participation at competitions in Limerick and Dublin. Notably, one swimmer qualified for the 2026 Nationals in Dublin. Additionally, young swimmers have the chance to engage in Skills Meet and TalentID programmes.
