Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>Two Killarney schools have been going bananas as a fitness initiative resumed in their school following a two-year break.</h3>
The children in both Kilgobnet National School, Beaufort and St Oliver&rsquo;s Primary School, Ballycasheen were amongst the first to host the popular children&rsquo;s fitness initiative &lsquo;Fit Squad&rsquo; as it resumed its programme of in-person school visits following a break during COVID.
 Delivered by Irish fitness expert Tom Dalton and supported by Fyffes, the visits saw over 240 pupils participate in the active workout which included advice on healthy eating, demonstrations of exercises young people should do and tips on how to use leisure time to stay physically fit.
 Continuing until next March, it is expected that some 7,500 pupils nationwide will participate in the interactive fitness sessions, adding to the over-20,000 pupils who have taken part in it since it was first launched in 2018.
 Schools interested in receiving a similar visit can find details online at www.fyffesfitsquad.ie.
