Six Enniskillen Royal GS swimmers did the school proud at the Ulster Schools Key Stage 3 & 4 Championships held at Larne Leisure Centre on Saturday 28th February.

Older brother Russell Mikievicz Lumayad, year 12, secured a new PB in the 50m Butterfly, placing 5th in his age group. A further PB in the 50m Freestyle gained him another top 10 finish.
Ryan Mongan, year 12, hit the wall with a new PB in the 50m Breaststroke to qualify for the final where he narrowly missed the podium to place 4th overall. He clocked a 5 second PB in the 100m Individual Medley to place 5th overall.
