The badges were sponsored by Carrickfergus Amphitheatre and the club is very grateful for their support.

A further four members passed their ‘Rookie Lifeguard’ gold badge test.

After the badge awards, club trophies and medals were presented to those swimmers deemed to have made the biggest effort in practice, coupled with good behaviour.

The presentation of the trophies was made by Mr. David Blair, Operations Manager of Carrickfergus Amphitheatre.
