Swimming: A team of strong young swimmers from Lakelanders Swimming Club weathered the stormy conditions early on Saturday morning, determined to pit their levels of physical and mental endurance at longer distances against some of the finest competitors in the province.

Their destination was Lisburn’s Lagan Valley Leisureplex to compete in the Ulster Region 200 Metre A & B Grades. For some of the team this was a first attempt at this distance in competition.

    All who took part excelled, Matthew Lappin achieving finalist awards in both breaststroke and back crawl; Rebecca Gormley achieving finalist awards in both back crawl and freestyle; Caoimhe Morris achieving a finalist award in the individual medley; and Nicole Doonan, Rachel Ellis and Rachel Gormley also producing outstanding performances, with personal bests surely worthy of plaudits from the dedicated coaching staff at the club.
