Ulster Swmming Success

Congratulations to five HPS swimmers who took part at the Swim Ulster Schools Cup and Championship, held in Bangor.
Eira, Bea and Ellie competed in the morning session for 9/10 year olds, each swimming in two events. All three achieved personal best times in their races and Ellie made the final of the 10yr 50m fly where she came 9th.

Jorja and Ben each competed in two events in the afternoon session for 11/12 year olds.

Jorja qualified for two finals where she was 9th in the 11yr 50m freestyle and 6th in the 11yr 100m individual medley. 

Ben also qualified for two finals where he was 4th in the 11yr 50m backstroke and 6th in the 11yr 50m freestyle.

Both Jorja and Ben achieved personal best times in their races and have qualified for the Irish Minor Schools Championships in February, which will be held at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin.

Well done to everyone, such great results all round. Sincere thanks to Mrs Starks and Mr McBride for helping on the day ensuring everyone was in the right place and ready for their races in plenty of time!
