European Championship team members Danielle Hill, Shane Ryan, Eoin Corby and Paddy Johnston were all adding to previous records while Ellen Walshe, Naomi Trait and three relays joined the history makers.

Danielle Hill continued her assault on the record books adding the 100m Freestyle to the 50m Freestyle and 50m and 100m Backstroke records she has broken over the past 10 days. It was record number eight in the for the Larne swimmer as she dominated tonight’s final in 53.81, breaking Mona McSharry’s 2018 record of 54.34. In third place, Kilkenny’s Naomi Trait took down the Irish Junior Record in 55.13.

Paddy Johnston claimed his second Irish Junior Record in as many days to win silver in 24.02.
In the Women’s 50m Butterfly Final, Templeogue’s Ellen Walshe took yet another record. The 18-year-old had set the current standard of 26.65 last month, but flew to 26.10 tonight, knocking a full half second off her record for the gold medal. Walshe was back in the water soon after to claim gold in the 400m Individual Medley with a personal best time of 4:38.38
Darragh Greene and Eoin Corby dominated the Men’s 100m Breaststroke Final with impressive lifetime bests, Corby’s an Irish Junior Record. The duo were the only two swimmers under the minute mark with Greene topping the podium in 58.13 and Corby in silver in 58.38.
