The standard of swimming at the championships was outstanding and it was great to see so many of our girls competing at such a high level. As well as some excellent individual results, we also had a number of strong team results which highlights the depth in the swim team this year.

Congratulations to all the girls who competed on the day. It was amazing to see so many girls getting PB’s and trying their best which ultimately contributed to St Pat’s finishing in 3rd place position. A real team effort. Well done girls.
