Well done to Isabella Carmichael who was representing Ballyclare Secondary School at the Minor Schools Championship last Sunday in Dublin! Even though she didn't take home any medals on the day, it was a great experience for Isabella to swim at the National Aquatic Centre in Dublin. She’s already looking forward to returning for the Seniors next year! Well done Isabella!
