Bangor Swimming Club

Bangor Swimming Club would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our sponsors for their generous support at last weekend’s Ian Wright Memorial Gala.

Your contributions helped make the weekend such a success and allowed us to provide a memorable experience for swimmers, coaches, officials, volunteers, and spectators alike.

A special thank you to Holywood Centra, Jack McMillan, Hands On Beauty, Ultrasound NI ’s Centra, Moody’s Plaice, and finally Marrac Design. Your support of grassroots sport and our swimming community is greatly appreciated.

We are proud to have such wonderful local businesses and organisations backing our event, and we thank you for helping us continue to provide opportunities for swimmers to compete, develop, and achieve their goals.

Thank you for being part of the Ian Wright Memorial Gala 2026.

What a fantastic weekend at the Ian Wright Memorial Gala! 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️

We are incredibly proud of all our swimmers who represented Bangor Swim Club with determination, enthusiasm and outstanding team spirit throughout the event.

There were countless personal bests achieved, plenty of encouragement from teammates, and lots of memorable swims. It was especially exciting to see so many swimmers taking part in their very first gala. Stepping up to race for the first time takes real courage, and every one of them should be proud of their efforts and achievements.

We were also delighted to see several swimmers achieve qualifying times for the Summer National Championships in Limerick and Dublin. This is a fantastic reward for their hard work and dedication in training, and we look forward to seeing them compete later in the season.

The weekend also marked a special milestone for Bangor Swim Club, as we had our first swimmer with Down syndrome represent the club at a gala. Their commitment, hard work and enthusiasm were a credit to themselves and an inspiration to everyone involved.

A huge thank you to our coaches, officials, volunteers, parents and supporters for helping to make the gala such a success. Your dedication and encouragement are invaluable.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors: Hollywood, Academy, -On Beauty, NI, ’s Centra Baloo, ’s Plaice and Design. Your generous support helps us provide opportunities for our swimmers and makes events like this possible.

Congratulations to all our swimmers on a wonderful weekend of racing. Whether you achieved a personal best, raced for the first time, secured a national qualifying time, or cheered on your teammates from the poolside, you all played a part in making the weekend such a success. We are proud of every one of you. 💙💛
