Tuam Swimming Club gets ready to turn 75

This year Tuam Swimming Club celebrates 75 years in existence. Founded in 1950, the club has provided swim teaching and coaching to the local community on a continuous basis during this period as well as competing successfully at Connacht, National and International levels.

To mark this milestone the club are planning a 75th Anniversary Social event in the Ard Ri Hotel, Tuam on Saturday May 31. While the event is open to everyone it is hoped to attract many past swimmers, teachers, coaches and committee members and many others who had an involvement in swimming over the years.

The night will start with a Prosecco reception in the foyer of the hotel where an exhibition of photographs taken over the decades will be on display. A three-course meal with wine follows at 7.30 and after a few speeches to mark the occasion, dancing with DJ Slopey will continue into the night.

Tickets are €60 per person and are available from Eventbrite by searching Tuam Swimming Club 75th Anniversary Social.

The club are also hoping that any member with photographs from past competitions will make them available.
