Over 280 swimmers in Community Games finals

THE Swimming County Finals took place last Sunday at the Tralee Sports Complex. Swimming is always a very well contested event and well done to all our swimmers who participated in this competition – we had over 280 individual swimmers and 15 relay squads competing which gave us a super day of swimming. Eighteen of the 26 participating areas had participants on the winning podium – great to see a wide distribution of medals across the County.
