Outstanding Performances from COB Swimmers
at Irish Schools Senior Championships
A large contingent of COB swimmers made the trip to Galway to
represent their schools at the Irish Schools Senior Championships, held 1st and
2nd February. The event took place at the Cranny Pool which overlooks the
picturesque Galway Bay. The characteristic sense of cameraderie between the
various Ulster schools teams and their parents was much in evidence as familiar
faces offered vocal support to all our young swimmers (though they claim they
can't hear their parents yelling when they're in the water!)
This year, Ulster schools did well, collecting a large number of
medals.
COB swimmers, representing their schools, contributed to the
large medal collection.
