🐬 Strule Dolphins Competition Round-Up 🐬

It has been another busy few weeks for Strule Dolphins swimmers, with representatives competing across three different competitions and continuing to gain valuable experience, achieve personal bests and bring home medals! 🥇

🏊 Ian Wright Memorial Gala – Bangor

With many of our swimmers focused on exam commitments, Strule Dolphins were represented by Emma and Tom at the Ian Wright Memorial Gala in Bangor.

Emma competed strongly in the 200m Individual Medley, 50m Breaststroke and 200m Freestyle, continuing to build on her racing experience and delivering some excellent swims.

Tom competed over both days of the gala, taking on the 200m Individual Medley, 200m Freestyle, 50m Butterfly, 50m Backstroke, 100m Freestyle and 800m Freestyle. A special mention goes to Tom for completing his first ever 800m Freestyle, a huge achievement and one that was rewarded with a fantastic bronze medal.

Both swimmers recorded a number of personal best times and have set themselves new targets to work towards.

🏊 Banbridge Open Long Course Meet – South Lakes

Five Dolphins swimmers travelled to South Lakes Leisure Centre for the Banbridge Open Long Course Meet.

The team produced plenty of personal best performances throughout the day while gaining valuable experience racing in a long course environment. Most importantly, all swimmers represented the club brilliantly, showing great attitude and commitment throughout the competition. The meet provided another excellent opportunity to benchmark progress and set goals for next season.

🏊 Swim Ulster DSNI Swimming Championships

A huge congratulations goes to Farrah, who proudly represented Strule Dolphins at the Swim Ulster DSNI Swimming Championships.

With strong support from her family in the stands and guidance from Coach Barry poolside, Farrah delivered an outstanding performance, achieving several new personal best times and earning an impressive medal haul of 2 Gold Medals and 2 Silver Medals. 🥇🥇🥈🥈

We are incredibly proud of Farrah’s achievements and the determination she continues to show every time she steps onto poolside.

As we approach the end of the season, it is fantastic to see our swimmers continuing to challenge themselves, achieve personal bests and represent Strule Dolphins with pride. Congratulations to everyone who competed over the past few weeks – your hard work and dedication are paying off.

There were lots of PBs 📈, medals 🥇🥈🥉, and pins 📍, along with some fantastic milestones achieved — including Regional Championship qualifying times, National consideration times, and National qualifying times 🎯 An incredible achievement and a reflection of the work being put in week after week.

It was also fantastic to see one of our relay teams take to the blocks for the first time 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️ The team embraced the opportunity and raced with confidence and determination, even lining up against a relay team that featured an Olympic swimmer - Danielle Hill! ⭐ While it was a tough race, our swimmers gave it their absolute best 💪 and supported each other brilliantly from start to finish.
