Six Irish swimmers will take to the pool this St. Patrick’s Day weekend as the third leg of the Citi Para Swimming World Series kicks off in Sheffield tomorrow and will run until the 19th of March, promising four days of exciting competition.
Ellen Keane and Nicole Turner, both who competed in Melbourne at the first event of this series in February are set to complete along with Róisín Ní Riain, Amy Sheridan, Siomha Brady and Dearbhaile Brady.
Taking at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre – the return of the World Series to UK shores promises to deliver another host of exciting contests between international rivals, with new names breaking through into contention for medals and senior team selection just months out from the Manchester 2023 World Para Swimming World Championships.
