The rumours about a roof-top swimming pool being part of the next phase of development at St. Conleth’s are fascinating and probably baseless but do we really need our own pool?  The longstanding tradition of bringing our Junior School students down to Sportsco in Ringsend for swimming every Friday seems to do just fine in churning out multitudes of children with respect, ability and affinity for the water and quite a few top class competitive swimmers.  At the recent Leinster Minor Schools Gala, Jude Moes swam two events and earned personal best times in both. In the 50m backstroke, he fell a few tenths of a second short of qualifying for the All-Irish Gala, but he did qualify in the 50m Butterfly.  He’ll swim the All Irish Minor Schools gala on Feb 12th. Luke Timlin was unable to attend last weekend but we are sure he will soon be back in the pool and join Jude as the latest Conlethians to make a splash on the national swimming scene!
