As part of Swim Ireland’s continued work in athlete engagement and efforts to support our clubs and members, Swim Ireland is excited to launch its Athlete Online Coaching Programme.
This online coaching programme has been designed to provide all club athletes with virtual coaching input from several experienced club coaches from around the country.

The programme is being offered at three levels, which are age dependent and cover a greater detail of coaching information as the levels rise.
Three Levels of the Programme:
