be asking you to complete a simple registration process to register your
interest and to confirm when next block of lessons will start. Please REGISTER

your preferred time, however please note that we cannot guarantee availability

classes run in terms or blocks of 10 weeks starting from start of September
every year and continue until July. ABOUT THE SWIMMING PROGRAM Our lessons

most of the year. All our teachers hold Swim Ireland Qualifications and are
fully Garda vetted. Swimmers can start from the age of 4 with armbands and
progress through the five stages of the Learn to Swim Programme. Progression
from each stage is based on assessment by the teachers as the swimmers come to
terms with new concepts. Once capable in all four strokes, each child is given
the opportunity to move to the Development Squad and begin their journey as a
