Congratulations to the 16 athletes selected to join Connacht’s Regional Development Programme Stage One and Stage Two for the 2023/24 season. These athletes were selected to join the programme based on their results from last season’s identified meets.
The Regional Programme supports athletes working towards selection into the National Programme while increasing depth of competition within the Region.
To support young athletes in their development into age group swimming, Swim Ireland club members (born 2012) are invited to join the team to experience a day on the Regional Programme at the Connacht Regional Skills Academy Development Camp this September 2023.
