LIMERICK Swimming Club (SC) hosted the Gerry Ryan Memorial Gala at the University of Limerick Arena.
The Gala honours a late stalwart of the sport, who founded Limerick SC, fostering a nurturing environment for swimmers of all ages and skill levels. Under his leadership, the club became a cornerstone of aquatic sports in the region.
In a lovely gesture, the club made a presentation to Gerry’s wife Doris and daughters Carol and Liz.
The three-day event at the weekend attracted 700 competitors from 40 clubs across the country.
Locals Kate Laffan, Dylan McGrath and Anton Nieuwoudt were those to who achieved the highest points, and with it the coveted Gerry Ryan Perpetual Trophy from Limerick SC Chairman Nigel Laffan.
Dolphin SC (Cork) were the overall winners.
