Sligo Swimming Club swimmers top of North Division league table
The Aquasprint Gala ethos is one of fun, development, team spirit and participation, where young swimmers can be introduced to competitive swimming in a relaxed environment.
All races are 25 metres making this event fast, furious and very fun!
Races include Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, Freestyle relay and Individual Medley relay.
County Sligo Swimming Club participants at this event range in age from 9 to 12 with 36 different children from the club having had the opportunity to participate to date.
It is a fully team based event with points awarded for position in individual events, relay events and the final score.
Overseen by the expert guidance of Head Coach Kevin McCarthy and with a little help from Club Mascot, Billy Bear, the young athletes of County Sligo Swimming Club proved that the future of the club is very bright with wins in all three galas to date. Despite stiff competition from Claremorris Swimming Club, Ballina Dolphins and Ballina Swimming Club, County Sligo Swimming Club currently stands at the top of the Northern Division league table. Provincial A&B finals will be held in Lough Lannagh Leisure Complex in Castlebar on the 7th of June. These hardworking and talented young swimmers continues to do their coaching team, their club and wider community proud.
