Fermoy Development Gala October 2019
SWSC travelled to Fermoy on Sunday with a total of 19 swimmers to compete in a very busy Level 1 Development Meet.
Despite a few nerves (which were overcome) the swimmers were outstanding.
Lots of Development 2 Times were achieved and some super swims took place and PB after PB was delivered by every swimmer in the pool
As a Coach, I was very proud of them all.
Some swimmers were lucky enough to be in the medals – Dylan Gunn who had 4 events 100 Free /50 brs ,50fly and 50 free achieved a medal in all events, taking home 2 Gold and 2 Bronze.
Conal Gilland also in the same age group, had 2 events 100 Free and 100IM and took home Gold and Silver.
Well done to all the swimmers on a great day of swimming and thanks to Andrea and Claire who did a great job as Team Managers and of course to all parents who were officials.
We as a club are very grateful to you all.
