What a great weekend of swimming as we welcomed over 350 swimmers to Limerick and the 50m Arena Pool. Teh records tumbled this weekend starting with the first event. But most of all it was a great chance to catch up with swimming friends from around Ireland and afar.  A bitg thank you to all those who travelled to Limerick to support the Irish Open. We want to thank UL Arena & their staff for supporting the gala, a special mention goes to Alan Ward.  Again it was great to have access to the 25m pool for the morning warm up.  As ever the gala wouldn’t run like clockwork without the assitance of Mary, Don & Colin who manned the desk & the parents of Limerick Swimming Club & Celtic Waves for timekeeping throughout the event. Finally to the club members & Committee who helped with the many jobs in both planning and running the event.
