The team comprising Gerard Corry, Paul Kearney Snr, Tom O’Donnell, Marcus Austin, Sam Kaghazchi, Paddy Healy, John Dempsey, Mike Lane, Dee Maguire and Sandra Byrne travelled to this very enjoyable event.

While there was a small turnout, many of the participants travelled from Cork, Galway, Limerick and Dublin with the aim of setting new masters records.

For the Limerick Team there were a few memorable firsts….

Sandra’s firsts attempt at a 400m .

Tom first touch in the 50m FC beating off a strong challenge from Marcus.

Marcus’s first DQ at a Masters gala, front crawl stroke on the turn.

Limerick 200+ FC Relay Team Gold.

Sam’s first gala with the Limerick Masters.

Mike’s first 3 from 3 with a gold silver and bronze.

Paddy’s first time putting in everybody’s entries and forgetting to put in his own.

A really good day was had by all and the team, the team retired to Stokers Lodge for the swim down.

I can’t remember the full medal tally…but it was like 24 Gold, 12 Silver and 6 Bronze…..the Coach can correct me here..

Here are a couple of photo’s of the Limerick swimmers….enjoy.
