Lads,

Killarney Swimming Club has been challenged to a fitness contest by Kingdom.  Now, this is serious.  We know for a fact that we are way fitter than those ‘aul townies, but how do we knock them off their perch?

For a start, it’s with push ups.  OUR coach, John Edwards, has initiated a Push Up Challenge in which everyone in the club (including Samantha) can take part.  Basically, a swimmers average number of push ups per week are counted, then all the clubs averages are added and at the end of the week the totals from Killarney, Tralee, Kenmare, Ballybunion, Limerick and Blackrock are compared.

Lads, listen up now, we need to win this one.  Sure, it says its only about fun and fitness but the key is in the name – “Challenge” – so lets start notching up those push ups.

There’s a video about it all up on the Tralee Facebook page which can be found here.  The instructions on how to do good push ups are excellent so take a look, do your push ups and email the numbers in to Samantha at killarneyswimmingclub@gmail.com .  A video of your push ups is needed also.

Let’s go for this and don’t forget your Killarney Swimming Club t-shirt for the video!
