Coleraine Swimming Club, Coleraine (2026)

Coleraine Swimming Club was founded in September 1969 by Jim Foote, Helen Birch, Elsa Rowbottom, Eamon O’Hara and others with the aim of promoting the art of swimming. The Clubs objectives are to:

To respect the rights, dignity and worth of each individual
To ensure that the health, safety and welfare of each Club member is paramount
To positively encourage each swimmer to develop their full pote

ntial and provide feedback on progress
To encourage the spirit of fair play and reinforce its principles
To promote the enjoyment of sport as a priority
To actively encourage parents/guardians to participate in the development of the Club
The Club has approximately 30-35 volunteer coaches who teach children at various levels of ability from starting to swim to the competitive level and the club membership stands around 250 members. The Club swimmers are split into 2 groups, the Aquasprint, which is for children up to 10/11 years old, and the Provincial Towns League (PTL) Squad which is for more experienced swimmers who are 8 years and older.

Last weekend saw 10 of our swimmers head to Bangor for the Swim Ulster Age Group & Senior long course Championships. Held over three days, swimming against the best in Ulster, qualifying for this is reward for all the effort they put in in training and racing throughout the season.

We couldn’t be prouder of the efforts they put in - lots of big swims, 24 new pb’s, 10 final qualifying times & some bling headed back to the North Coast. It was also encouraging to see some of our swimmers qualifying and doing well in distance events.

While they all deserve celebrating - some special shout outs to:

Kioni: 🥈2nd 50m backstroke, 6th 100m backstroke

Raffi: 8th 100m breaststroke, 7th 100m frontcrawl, 🥈2nd 50m breaststroke 🥉3rd 50m frontcrawl & 4th 100m butterfly

Tara: 9th 50m breaststroke

Campbell: 🥉 3rd 50m backstroke

Rachel: 4th 1500m frontcrawl.

We also have to celebrate two new record breakers!

Rachel Girls 14&u 1500m frontcrawl (LC) in a new time of 22:54:15 🤩

Kioni Boys 16&O 50 backstroke (LC) in a new time of 28:89 🤩

What a fantastic few nights we have had at the Christine McIntosh Memorial Gala, competed by Coleraine, Limavady and Ballymoney Swimming Clubs 🏊‍♂️

The gala was a brilliant celebration of swimming, filled with fun, energy, and some truly impressive performances in the pool. Most importantly, it was a meaningful way to remember Christine and the incredible impact she had across all three clubs. Her legacy continues to inspire so many swimmers.

After two very close nights of racing Coleraine Swimming Club were delighted to be crowned overall winners, followed by Limavady Swimming Club in second place and Ballymoney Swimming Club in third 👏

Well done to every swimmer who took part, along with all medal winners and skins champions—you should be very proud of your achievements!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the gala such a success and joined with us to honour Christine. 💙
