The Clarina native is regarded as one of Ireland’s brightest talents to come out of Swim Ireland’s Performance Programme at the Limerick National Centre.
Limerick native Eoin Corby sixth in the final of the 200m men’s Breaststroke at u23 European Swimming Championships, recording an impressive time of 2:12.90.
Earlier in the week the Limerick native finished 14th in the 50m Breaststroke heat, swimming a time of 28.10.
Corby was unlucky to miss out on the 100m Breaststroke final, swimming a time of 1:02.19, and missing out on the final by .65 of a second.
A time of 2:12.67 in the 200m Breaststroke allowed him to finish third, and qualify for the final where he made sixth place.
The Clarina native failed to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games, but is regarded as one of Ireland’s brightest talents to come out of Swim Ireland’s Performance Programme at the Limerick National Centre.
In 2018, when Corby was just 16, he snatched two gold medals for 50m and 100m Breaststroke, as well as one silver for 200m Breaststroke at the Euro Meet 2018 in Luxembourg.
The year prior, Corby represented Ireland at the European Youth Olympics in Hungary, where he competed against other swimmers that were a year or more older.
The talented swimmer will have his sights firmly fixed on qualification for the Paris Olympics next summer.
