My name is Isla Downes and I’m 5. I loved going swimming every Tuesday at the PSLC. I was in the Goldfish class and Shane is was swimming teacher.
I liked learning how to swim and how to jump in safely. When I was finished, I always got a yummy hot chocolate, or sometimes a smarty cookie my favourite treats!
My mam learned to swim in the same pool when she was little, and now I’m learning there too.
I think that’s really cool!
As part of our fundraiser, we’re asking current and former members, visitors and supporters to share their PSLC stories.
Your story helps us show why this long-standing community centre matters so much to Portmarnock and the wider area.
You can send your story as text, voice note or video using the links below. Don’t worry about formatting or typos. We’ll write it up, send it to you for approval, and only then share it on our website and social channels. We’d love to include pictures to.
From big life moments to short, fun memories, we’d love to hear them all.
