Killarney

<h3>An Olympic swimmer gave some top advice and even showed his skills in the water in Killarney on Saturday.</h3>
<p>Young swimmers were thrilled to meet the Longford man, who is the current Irish record holder for 50m/100m and 200m Breaststroke, during his visit to the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre.</p>
<p>He coached members of Killarney Swimming Club and the Killarney Leisure Centre Swim Academy.</p>
<p>“Darragh took them through their paces with various drills to develop and improve their breaststroke. The highlight of the day was when Darragh got into the water himself and showed what he was all about with some fast paced breaststroke lengths of the pool,” Daniel O&#8217;Donoghue, Duty Manager at the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre, said.</p>
<p>“After the pool session Darragh delivered a lovely presentation explaining his journey from swimming with his local swim club in Longford to competing at the Tokyo Olympic Games. After some brilliant questions from the kids Darragh very kindly made sure each swimmer got a certificate and stood for lots of photos.”</p>
