✨ What a weekend for our CASC squad at the Swim Ulster Age Group and Senior Championships in Bangor! ✨

9 swimmers. 24 finals. 9 medals — 7🥇 1🥈 1🥉
A seriously strong overall performance and one the whole team can be proud of 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

What stood out most wasn’t just the results, but the incredible team spirit throughout the meet. From the big highs to the tougher races, the swimmers backed each other all the way — creating a brilliant atmosphere on poolside 🙌

That unity was on full display on Saturday night, with our Girls A and B freestyle relay teams finishing 8th and 12th. Even better, across the entire weekend there wasn’t a single DQ — a real sign of focus, discipline, and race skills coming together 😊

🌟 Special congratulations to our medallists:
• Amelia — 🥉 200 breast
• Luka — 🥇 200 breast, 50 free, 50 fly, 50 breast, 100 fly
• Sofiia — 🥇 100 breast & 50 breast, 🥈 200 breast

A particularly outstanding performance from Sofiia, our 12-year-old stepping up confidently into the 13–14 age group 💪

👏 A huge thank you to our coaches, committee, and parent volunteers — weekends like this don’t happen without all the hard work behind.

Well done to every swimmer — lots to be proud of and plenty to build on!
