New Ross swimmers make splash
The event welcomed swimmers from twelve clubs across the Leinster region, creating a wonderful buzz around the pool and resulting in some truly memorable races. The club's own swimmers performed exceptionally well, with strong swims across all age groups. It was a day to celebrate the depth of talent in New Ross Swimming Club and visiting clubs. Looking ahead, the club's senior swimmers are preparing to compete in the upcoming Leinster Senior and Youth Championships at the National Aquatic Centre (NAC), as well as the Leinster Age Group Championships in Limerick. Meanwhile, our junior squads are gearing up for the Curragh Summer Fun Gala, continuing their busy and exciting competition season. This momentum follows an outstanding performance by New Ross athletes at the recent Irish Open Championships. Emmet Cousins delivered a superb silver medal in the 200m backstroke and a bronze in the 400m individual medley before finishing off the week with a Senior bronze in 100m backstroke. Eva Bayley also shone, earning silver and Junior gold for her 200m butterfly, plus Senior bronze and Junior silver for the 100m butterfly at championship level. Luca Power added to the medal tally with a silver in the Junior 200m and 400m freestyle. In addition, swimmers Leagh Bailey, Lilli Markey, and Emersyn Scully all turned in strong performances throughout the competition, showcasing the strength and depth of talent within the club. A special mention also goes to Evan Bailey, formerly of New Ross Swimming Club and now swimming for NCL, who delivered some powerful swims. The gala was a clear reflection of the hard work put in by swimmers, coaches, and volunteers alike. New Ross Swimming Club extends sincere thanks to all involved and looks forward to more success in the weeks and months ahead.
