Some great testing and analysis going on this week at National Centre Ulster. Looking at propulsion throughout the arm cycle and kick with Italy's Ivo Ferreti. Some great insights and discussions! Ivo was Italy's first coach to deliver Olympic medals with the men's program.

Great swim by Lachey Reed at the Division Championships in Spain. An 8:02 800fr and another best time building on his performance from Irish Nationals. @swimireland @SwimUlster

Fun first day at the BUCS Swimming Championships with the NCU squad joined by Daniel Edgar. Swimmers are representing @QueensSport @uususport and Liverpool John Moores University. A great battle between the relays tonight! Congrats to Alana Burns-Atkin on her 59.5 100fl 4th!

An enjoyable afternoon celebrating the Ulster University athletes. Congratulations to NCU swimmers Alana Burns-Atkin and Adam Colgan on their scholarships. Well done to @UlsterUniSport.

Mollie McAlorum swims to a best time in the 400fr and a silver medal in Brno, Czechia! @QueensSport

Burn-Atkin gets under the 1 minute mark in the 100fl with a 59.8 on her way to a silver medal in Czechia!

Alana Burns-Atkin turned in a best inseason swim in the 200fly with a 2:14 and a bronze medal.  Also making A finals in Brno, Czechia was Naeve Pountney in the 100bk and Lachey Reed in 100im.  Molly Nulty and Cody Dunnion also made Bfinals tonight with solid swims.

Great working with our friend from Italy, Nunzio Lanotte this week evaluating the swimmers velocity from their starts, off their push off from the turns and their deceleration in their glide phase to identify best timing of the 1st dolphin kick for each athlete.

NCU swimmers doing a little early season cross training at BoulderWorld in Belfast. Good work, good fun, sore bodies:)

NCU's 1st week of Summer Club is in full swing at the Bangor Aurora. A great way to refine skill and stay in shape this summer. Contact Swim Ulster to register for week 2 and 3!

Absolutely outstanding. An incredible ambassador for Irish swimming. Ireland is walking a little taller tonight!

Great to have the Malaysia Olympic Team here in Bangor preparing for Paris. Hosted a BBQ for them and the NCU group. We look forward to seeing them again in February when we go to Kuala Lumpur for training camp.
