2015 an outstanding year!
2015 an outstanding year!
As a club we celebrated a superb 2015 after we were named men's Leinster Open Sea champions for a seventh year in-a-row, adding to our clubs array of recent success.
Indeed it comes at a time when our swimmers Helena McGrath and Dan Golden received world swimming FINA top ten ranking while some of our relay teams secured six top ten FINA rankings. In addition, 11 of our swimmers now hold individual Irish masters swimming records.
2015 was another fantastic year for our club. In both the pool and the sea, our club swimmers had lots of fun, trained hard and bagged some really great world and Irish masters swimming records, as well as some prestigious competition wins.
The summer was not as fine as last years but it was just as enjoyable and our club was out in force. Our member’s commitment throughout the Leinster Open Sea season resulted in our men’s team claiming club of the year for a seventh time and our ladies team coming in runner up. Some outstanding performances to note were from Ciaran Balfe, who was awarded Vet of the year and Declan Harte awarded Super Vet of the year.
In the pool our club currently have 11 Irish record holders with Dan Golden, Joanne Figala, Jack Meade, Julie Galloway, Helena McGrath, Liz McCarthy, Sandra O’Leary, Tom Healy, Richard Harding and Helen O’Leary as well as 28 Irish relay records across the age groups after 2015. On the international stage, Helena McGrath competed in the World Masters Games in Nice where she won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in her respective events.
To win the men's Open sea title a magnificent 7th year in a row, Gerry Claffey and Gordon Beamish had individual wins while our club's ladies team finished a commendable second to a very strong Dublin SC team with Gaye Regan, Melissa Corbally and Julie Roche with individual wins.
Roll on 2016 for more fun and success!
