IRISH AGE GROUP DIVISION 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS 2015
Nine Lecale swimmers represented the club at the IAG Div 2 Championships in Limerick last weekend. Conor Mahoney, Daniel Molloy, Jamie Hamilton, Aaron Cooper, Adam Colgan, Amy Godfrey, Isla Millar, Laura Molloy and Chloe Galloway competed against hundreds of top class swimmers from all over Ireland in twenty-one individual events and four relay events. All achieved fantastic PBs and relay team splits showed very fast individual legs and slick takeovers.
Our youngest competitor, Adam Colgan, competed in the 100m and 200m backstroke, joining only three other ten year olds who had achieved the U11 Div 2 standard. Under close scrutiny from stroke and turn judges Adam swam flawlessly and gained excellent PBs in both his events. Adam has also been selected by Swim Ulster to train with the Ulster Performance Squad in Magherafelt next season.

Chloe Galloway secured the title of IAG Div 2 Champion in 13-14yo 100m freestyle with a smashing Div 1 time of 1:05.05. Chloe also finished a very close 4th in 400 freestyle and 100m backstroke.
