What a difference a year makes! πͺ
Last year at Fivemiletown, we welcomed 45 swimmers across 2 sessions. This year, that grew to 81 swimmers across 3 sessions, with 90 registered overall π
Swimmers ranged from beginners to more advanced levels, with one swimmer even encouraged to take the next step and try a local swimming club πββοΈ
A huge thanks to the teachers from Enniskillen Lakelanders, Dungannon, Lurgan and Alliance for helping make the sessions a success π
Watch this space for our Belfast Camp in October π
