History of Swimming at St. David's

Down the years, from 1969 to 1981, we were today blessed in the school to have the use of a swimming pool on our doorstep in St. David's C.B.S. Secondary school.

However, this great facility sadly closed in 1981. Cyril Hardy, a former champion swimmer and team captain of the Irish International Swimming Team, was our swimming teacher and coach and, under Cyril's experienced tutelage, every boy in the school learned the rudiments of swimming. The annual swimming gala was a very popular event. Pupils were also introduced to life saving and many of the pupils became highly skilled in this important aspect of swimming. Some of the pupils, such as Martin Coughlan and Earl McCarthy swam, at a later stage, for Ireland.
