Swim Ireland has named 68 athletes to its National Training Programme for the 2026–27 season, which includes our very own 2nd Year student Juliet Cotter!
Juliet was selected for the Junior Pathway National Programme which comprises of 34 Irish athletes who will work towards qualification and competitive performances at the 2027 European Junior Championships and European Youth Olympic Festival along with looking towards developing towards the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games. Entry standards to this elite group are deliberately demanding and based on Juliet's outstanding results in the Irish Summer Nationals in July where she won 2 gold medals (100m & 200m back), a silver medal (50m back) and 2 bronze medals (100m and 200m freestyle) . She also won a silver and 2 bronze medals in relay events.
Well done Juliet, we are exceptionally proud of your achievements!
