💙 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS, ELODIE! 💙

We’re absolutely thrilled to share the news that Elodie has been selected to represent Team Ireland at the World Para Swimming European Championships in Türkiye! 🇮🇪🏊‍♀️🌍

What a fantastic achievement! 👏🏼💙

From everyone at LASC — congratulations, Elodie, and best of luck! We’ll be cheering you on all the way! 💙🇮🇪

Your club needs you! 🫡

As per Swim Ireland requirements for clubs to have a required number of Licensed Officials, Swim Ulster are looking for volunteers to become qualified and help maintain the high standard of competitions for our swimmers!

Becoming an official is a great way to give back to the sport, learn a new skill, meet other swimming enthusiasts and get the best seats in the house!

Regional Judge Courses 2 and 3 are coming up across the month's of September and October 🗓️

Here's to our very own Fast-Five who are competing at Dublin's NAC in the Irish Summer National championships.

Well done and good luck to Ollie, Shane, Elodie, Chloe and Sam.

Special mentions to Oliver, Kevin and Joshua who also qualified but unfortunately were unable to participate this week due to various commitments.

Good luck to all 8 LASC swimmers in Limerick this week at the Irish Age Group Championships. Qualifying is such an achievement and required time, effort and commitment from athlete and coaching team alike.

We are so proud of everyone involved. Charlie, Adam, Lara, Sienna-Rose, Bonnie, Maia, Conor and Faye...the hard work is now done, so race hard, race fast...and enjoy!

Super proud of our swimmer Elodie, named in the Irish Squad and currently in Berlin at the latest round of the Para Swimming World Series.

This is an exciting next step for Elodie on her journey towards her goals as an elite para swimmer.

Big cheers for you from everyone at LASC! 💙

Just some of the 14 smiling faces that swam their hearts out as individuals and supported each other as a team across the weekend action at the Ulster Age Group and Senior LC champs held as always in the Aurora Bangor.

Those 14 swimmers had a total of 70 races between them... and managed a whopping 51 PBs 🤯🤯🤯

We also made it to 24 finals over the week end. Wow!

PBs are the goals they all chase but special mention to two swimmers...

Kevin McMacken PB'd in every one of his events, and reached 5 finals. All that after passing his driving test earlier that week. 🚗🚗

And to Shane Fyfe who achieved bronze in the 200m Breast Stroke Open 15-16 yr olds.

Well done Shane, well done Kevin, well done all!!
