Accelerate Swim Course
Our week-long Accelerate Swim Courses at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre offers a swimming development experience tailored to help swimmers of all levels, from young beginners to advanced senior levels as well as new teen and adult learners. In a small group setting, participants will receive focused, efficient training daily for one week to sharpen their fundamental skills and refine their techniques quickly.
There is a limited capacity of four spaces per 30-minute timeslot (daily for one week) on the dates below. (*click on a box below to access our booking portal & use the filter to select a level.)
Focused, Small Group Classes
Spaces are limited to just 4 per timeslot, ensuring a low teacher-to-student ratio of 1:4. This allows our highly trained instructors to provide personalised attention and tailored guidance, helping each swimmer progress rapidly and improve their stroke efficiency and overall performance.
