We offer a range of โ€˜Learn to Swimโ€™ programmes to pool centres throughout the island of Ireland. In particular, the โ€˜Child Learn to Swimโ€™ programme, which rewards children who achieve the objectives of the programme with a range of Certificates and Badges. Swim Ireland also offers an extensive range of aquatic qualifications, like Swimming Teacher and Swimming Coach.

Every week, officials across Ireland give their time, experience and commitment to help sport happen.

In this campaign, we hear directly from them about their role, their experiences and why respect matters across every sport and at every level.

Because sport works best when everyone feels part of it.

Our mental health is so important to us all. Here at Swim Ireland, we are here to listen.

If something is worrying you, making you feel uncomfortable, or you just need someone to talk to, remember, you are not alone.

Every Swim Ireland club has a Clubs Childrenโ€™s Officer (CCO). They are a trusted adult who is there to listen, support our young athletes, and help if there are any worries or concerns. If there is a trusted adult you can talk to, reach out to them and let them know how you are feeling, you donโ€™t have to deal with things alone.

Let's create sporting environments where everyone feels safe, included, treated with dignity and respect, and comfortable asking for help ๐Ÿ’™
