Return to Training

Our Senior A Squad returned to training last week when we welcomed back our swimmers from last year in addition to some new faces. As our top tier swimmers in the club, a huge amount of commitment and training is required at this level and we wish all our swimmers the very best of luck for the coming season.
We look forward to welcoming back our remaining squads this week , Junior A on Wednesday and
Junior B and Development Squads on Saturday.

The girls are the first swimmers to complete this challenging route and did so in an impressive time of 12 hours and 6 minutes; All funds raised will go towards the purchase of a defibrillator which will be erected on the wall of The Maritime Center in Fenit, accessible to the large community of swimmers,runners, sailors, cyclists, fishermen, visitors and locals.
The girls wish to thank their open water coach (& KSC coach) John Edwards @wildwateradventures and their support crew of Eoin & Michaela Edwards, not forgetting Rob Durran,Nicky Benner, Garrett Dillon and Oonagh & Shane McGibney who all assisted with Boat Cover & help along the way.
