Teaching Swimming


Although Sundays Well Swimming Club is a competitive swimming club, we are also a teaching club, to the extent that L-plate swimmers and improvers make up the majority of the club membership.

All club members, whether individual or family, can avail of these services, be it as a complete non-swimmer or as an improver. The minimum age at which teaching can commence is 5 years old. For adults wishing to learn to swim, a teacher and pool space is available during the Masters section pool time on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 8:50pm to 9:40pm.

For those swimmers who attain a certain level of competency at the swimming strokes, progression to competitive swimming can follow if desired, subject to invitation by the competitive coaching staff. Beginners and improvers are constantly monitored by coaching staff for this purpose. The club draws from our very strong teaching base to feed the competitive swimming squads.

All teaching is performed by qualified and certificated Teachers and Assistant Teachers. The club invests heavily in our teaching and coaching staff to provide quality services to our members, and to ensure a safe and productive learning environment.

Costs

All teachers, coaches, committee, helpers and administrative personnel offer all of their services on a voluntary basis only. This makes Sundays Well a unique swimming club in this country as it is the only such club which operates in this way.

There is a further charge of €8 per person payable to Swim Ireland, the governing body of swimming in Ireland, which covers the individual's insurance premium.
