🌊🏊‍♀️SWIMMER SPOTLIGHT🏊‍♀️🌊
NAME- NADINE CALLAGHAN

Q1-HOW DID YOU GET INTO SWIMMING?

My parents introduced me to the water at a young age they believed it was an essential life skills and wanted me to feel confident and safe in water. What started as basic lessons quickly turned into something I genuinely loved.

Q2-HOW HAS SWIMMING HELPED IN OTHER AREAS OF YOUR LIFE?

It built my discipline resilience and work ethic. It give me confidence it helped me socialise and brought life long friendships into my life. It also gives me structure and a good routine.

Q3- WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE RO SOMEONE LOOKING TO START POOL/OPEN WATER SWIMMING

My biggest piece of advice for anyone starting pool swimming is to just get in and be consistent. Don’t worrry about speed or technique at the beginning focus on getting comfortable in the water. The progress will come with time and consistency. Open water swimming is going to be my next challenge that I am looking forward to take on.

Congratulations Grace & Jenny! 🌊🏊‍♀️

A huge congratulations to Grace Wee Swim and Jenny Cray on their incredible North Channel swims on Monday.

Grace has been a great friend and long-time supporter of the Lough Neagh Dunkers. She has supported our swimmers over the years and regularly trains alongside our open-water swimming community. An exceptional swimmer, coach and all-round wonderful person, we couldn’t be prouder to see her achieve this incredible milestone.

Jenny took part in our Lough Neagh Monster Winter Challenge, completely embracing the challenge and absolutely smashing it! She told us how the challenge kept her motivated throughout the winter months and helped prepare her for the demands of the North Channel. Another fantastic swimmer who showed tremendous commitment and determination.

To both Grace and Jenny — hats off to you! 👏

We are incredibly proud to know you both and delighted to celebrate such a fantastic achievement. Your dedication, courage and determination are an inspiration to us all.
Thank you infinity Channel Swimming for another 2 safe, professional crossings. Great piloting and crewing.

Well done, girls — you are both absolute legends! 💙🩷

From everyone at Lough Neagh Dunkers 🤟🤟🤟🤟

🌊👏 A massive congratulations to Oscar Black from the Lough Neagh Monster Dunkers!

Oscar claimed his first skin swim at the Lord and Lady of the Lake in Camlough, finishing an outstanding 2nd overall. What a fantastic achievement! 🏅

The overall winner was Oscar’s LASC teammate, Jamie Craig, who swam in a wetsuit and also claimed the Junior Wetsuit title.

A brilliant day’s racing and a fantastic result for both swimmers. It’s great to see our young athletes pushing themselves and representing their clubs with such determination.

Well done, Oscar, on your first skins podium, and congratulations to Jamie on the overall and Junior Wetsuit wins! We’re incredibly proud of you both. 💙🌊🏊‍♂️
