Swim Ireland is taking bookings for its open water “aquatics academy” for children and adults which takes place this summer on inland waterways and off beaches around the coast.

The organisation has set four levels within the academy for children from six years up to teenagers (12 to 17 years) to adults (18 years and upwards).

The levels start with Open Water 1 which is tailored for individuals with no or limited swimming experience to Open Water 4, and there is also a “yoga and dip” class option.

Spaces are available in Annagh lake and Barnagrow, Co Cavan; Arklow, Co Wicklow; Dollymount and Portmarnock, Dublin; Dunmore East, Co Waterford; Enniscrone, Co Sligo; and Rossnowlagh, Co Donegal, according to Swim Ireland’s community newsletter.

Bookings are available online on this link here
