Tallaght Swim Team were out in force for the club’s annual Marion Lane Gala in Balrothery 2019
In 2019 it was young Dublin swim club ‘Swan Leisure’ who had the honour of raising the Marion Lane Cup after winning the Girls 9-12 200m Medley Relay, Head Coach Pauric Kenny making the presentation.
Among those present at the 2019 event was Tallaght and National Centre international & now Olympic swimmer Brendan Hyland who put in a great show when competing in the 400 Individual Medley.
