Sara also hailed the 15 swimmers who she said had trained hard in the weeks leading up to the event.
“Another successful weekend for the Lakelanders, representing the South-West region in Bangor. I was really impressed with our swimmers’ performances and the maturity of our athletes,” Sara said.
“This spectacular 50m pool was the perfect venue for the many challenging events the Fermanagh swimmers were eager to dive into over the weekend.
“A very enjoyable weekend for the swimmers, coaches and parents as we see our team progress into a long course season.”
“The focus now turns to our Junior swimmers with next weekend seeing the Lakelanders host the first home gala in 2 years - sure to be an exciting morning of swimming.”
