This week we said farewell to swim coach Niall McDonnell.

After 20 years as a member and 12 years coaching for Piranha, Niall is a proper club legend. From popular West Wood sessions to helping get things going at Sean MacDermott Street Pool, Niall has been there – week after week making good and fit swimmers 💪

Niall sent us off with his favourite set, 3 x 3x100s… we’ll miss that one and all of them.

Huge thank you Niall! 🙌

Talking the talk, walking the walk and also now swimming the swim.

Joanne’s birthday weekend double featured another fantastic event - the escape from Ireland’s Eye. This event featured a challenging 2km swim from the Island to the mainland!

Maith sibh, a chairde for completing this bucket list accomplishment! ♥️💙

Massive thank you to .ie for sponsoring all the prizes for the Piranha March Cycling challenge 🙏🤌

Amelie was longest distance woman completing a mindblowing 1393 km in the month of March. Shane - our longest distance man - put in an awful amount of work to make sure he beat Amelie with a total distance of 1522 km 😵 To reward them for all their hard work, Amelie and Shane were gifted beautiful helmets (thank you again base2race).

Ruth, our new to tri winner beat her goal of 570km and cycled 747km! Finally, Miriam was our lucky draw winner and also completed their goal distance of 570km by cycling a whopping 762km. Ruth and Miriam walked away with many many gels which will fuel the rest of their season!

Maith thú to everyone who took part! Can’t wait to do this again next year and a big big thank you to .ie for their sponsorship 💖

Love me some Howth hill repeats.

🧘‍♀️🍽️🧠 Piranha Easter Training Camp: Day 2 (Part 2)

After a busy day, it was time to slow things down with some yoga, followed by dinner at the hotel. Then came the main event… quiz night 🧠

Safe to say it was very competitive, plenty of laughs, and maybe a few questionable answers along the way.
Including a body part round 👀

The bonus round was a paper airplane challenge ✈️, and Tony & Dee really thought outside the box for that one. Ultimately, it was Tony who helped bring The Bumble Vees the win 🐝

🏆 Very humbly, of course… and definitely no boos from the crowd 😅

Bua tuillte acu gan amhras. ♥️💙
