Close to 1000 swimmers will converge on UL Arena this weekend to compete in Limerick Swimming Club’s Annual Gerry Ryan Memorial Gala.
Swimmers from North, South, East and West will compete for the coveted Gerry Ryan Memorial Trophy at the event which will run from 6pm on Friday until Sunday evening. The event is run by Limerick Swimming Club, Limerick’s largest, longest established and most successful competitive swimming club.
Gerry Ryan, one of the founders of Limerick Swimming Club, is remembered at this gala every year. The club recently lost another founding member, John Dempsey making this year’s gala even more poignant.
With over 150 members aged from 8 upwards, Limerick Swimming Club’s top swimmers compete at both National, International and even Olympic level and hold a host of records between them. The club has direct links to the Swim Ireland National Centre in Limerick where many of its members also train.
Limerick Swimming Club welcomes new junior members who are interested in exploring competitive swimming as a sport. If you would like to learn more about Limerick Swimming Club, please contact lscmembershipsecretary@gmail.com or visit our website at www.limswim.ie for further details.
