Swim Ireland says it aims to develop “an island of swimmers” as part of its open-water training programmes at many coastal and inland locations this year.

New and seasoned open water swimmers are invited to participate, and “all levels and capabilities are provided for”, it says.

It has published details of the training events, running at over 60 locations in 20 counties across four provinces.

The categories include “Dipper to Swimmer”, “Beach to Buoy”, “Open Water Skills”, “Yoga and Dip”, and Swimmin' Kids.

The programmes are scheduled to run from May to September 2023.

Swim Ireland says each session will be 45mins in duration, running for either four or six weeks - depending on the location.

The cost of a four-week programme is €40, and a six-week programme is €60.
