Swimming
It was a very successful year for the Swimming Club with good success in the championships and with some individuals reaching the Irish Championships.
In the Ulster Grammar Schools’ Championships a number of Seniors reached the finals, but pride of place goes to Caroline Gordon who won a Bronze in the Intermediate Breast Stroke, and in particular, to our Junior Girls : Sasha Hooks won Gold medals in the Back Crawl and Freestyle, Laura Wylie won Bronze in the Breast Stroke and our Relay Team won two Golds. Overall our Junior Girls won the Junior Team Cup.
The Ulster Secondary Schools’ Championships are more competitive than the Grammar Schools’, but there was again much success as 11 Gold Medals were won: Caroline Gordon won one gold, Rebecca Houston two, Colleen McCausland two, Laura Wylie two and Sasha Hooks four.
In the Irish Championships, Caroline Gordon was second in the Senior Breast Stroke, Sasha Hooks won the Junior Back Crawl and the Junior Girls’ Relay won the Medley. Sasha was selected for the Irish International U17 Team and won the 100m Backcrawl; Caroline Gordon was the top Senior swimmer and was selected for the Irish Training Squad. It was a very good year for swimming, and especially for our girls.
