Maria Godden Visits the School

Top Irish swimmer, Maria Godden visited the school in November. She is from Kilkenny and has been training with Kilkenny Swimming Club since she was in priamry school. She trains in Limerick now, along with Olympians. When Maria visited us, she was just about to leave for the European Championships, taking place in Romania.

Maria's specialist event is the backstroke.

Maria answered lots of questions from pupils in the gym, and showed a video of her racing. She told us all about her medals, her training and how she keeps healthy.

We wish Maria the best of luck in the European Championships, and next year, in the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, where she will represent Ireland.
