Coolmine Sports Centre has been running our Swim Instruction programme for over 40 years with many of our young beginners going on to become National swimming Champions.

Each class includes several sections, with children divided by ability (armbands, beginners, improvers, and advanced improver.)

The Armband level is for complete beginners who are new to the pool environment.

Beginners are for children who have been through the Armband stage and are able to stand in the shallow end.

Improver level is for children with the basic body position and stroke movements and are capable of swimming 6-8 metres.

Advanced Improver level children must be able to swim 9-10 metres with good skills in Front Crawl and Back crawl

We also recommend that first time swimmers should be introduced to the swimming pool before starting swim lessons, we have Parent & Child sessions specifically for this purpose.

Swim lessons cost €86.00 for an 10 week term (€95 for 45 min classes) and you will also need Basic membership to join.(€35 p/year for children).  Class terms will vary depending on Holiday breaks, such as Easter etc.
