The swimming County Finals for Mayo Community Games were held in Ballina Pool on Saturday, May 25th.
An incredible fourteen swimmers from Castlebar Swimming Club won their respective events and so have qualified for the National Finals of the Community Games to be held in Mosney, August 16th to 18th.
The Castlebar Club took GOLD in fourteen of the twenty two events, seven SILVER and four BRONZE medals, as well as SILVER in the girls U.13 Squad.
