We’re very pleased to announce that the annual NAC Charity Gala will take place on Sunday, 26th February next at the National Aquatic. Following the success of last year’s event, at which €4,000 was raised for the Ronald McDonald House Charity, we are very pleased to announce that part of the proceeds this year will also go to this very worthwhile charity.

We have plenty of events to suit all swimmers including Minnows, skins with a prize fund of €100 for the winner and of course the award of the coveted Dave Malone Perpetual Trophy.

Note to NAC Swim Club parents:

We are very hopeful that we can replicate the success of last year’s event but it’s only possible with the co-operation and good will of NAC Swim Club parents. We would ask you all to get involved and help out on the day – whether timekeeping for one of the sessions or helping out with one of the many other jobs that need to be done , we would be really grateful for your time.

Help us to make this a great day out – one which will help a really worthwhile cause and of course, serve as our main fundraising gala to keep our training fees affordable for all parents throughout the year.

Thanks to you all.

Leinster Distance & Graded Gala, NAC

This event is now over. Download the full details here.

There has been a huge entry into the Distance Graded Gala for next Sunday. The numbers exceed even the entry to the Distance Graded last October, which was itself a very large gala. The organisers have looked at all the options, but it would have been impossible to run all the events in a safe manner during the time allotted.

Therefore, we have reluctantly decided to postpone Session Three of the gala. We will seek to hold this Session on another date, and clubs will have the option of swimming on this later occasion or taking a refund of the relevant fees. Details of the events in Session Three can be found in the gala notice, as attached.

The focus of Leinster Regional Management Committee is that swimmers and parents have an enjoyable gala in a safe environment. This was the over-riding factor in making this decision. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Please refer to the new programme schedule for information on event schedule and warm up-times.

Here is the rota for the Gala. As you know, if your child(ren) is(are) swimming in this event, you must cover a gala official slot.

To avoid any confusion, here is a copy of the original programme. This is for reference only. The programme above is the correct one but some parents have requested the original to be made available to coincide with what is posted on the noticeboard.
