Ben Pond was our sole representative at the Irish Nationals held at National Aquatic Centre in Dublin. Ben entered 6 finals and qualified for 5 finals but that only tells half the story.
Ben achieved 5 Long Course Personal Best, Club Records in both the 200m and 400m Freestyle; the 200m he broke it twice, once in the heats and then again in the final.
However, he kept the best to last in the 400m free when he turned in 3rd place on the final length but just couldn’t hold on and missed out on a podium position by 0.26 second.
None the less a great programme of events.
Ben results can be found here and a picture from Swim Ireland in our Gallery
