The records app which can be viewed on https://irishmastersswimming.ie/records/ is now updated to Include all national, Leinster and Munster records.

Please be lenient with any errors or omissions on the system as there are now over 1600 records having been manually databased.

There is a facility to download your provincial cert (should you have one) but this will only appear as an option when you drill down to a single line item. If you arrive at a duplicate, let me know via mastersrecorder [at] swimireland.ie
