Inspiration From the Best!
Tom Fannon is an Irish swimmer who competed at the Olympic Games for Ireland.
He finished 10th in the men's 50m freestyle at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
He currently holds the Irish record for the men's 50 metres freestyle set in the semi-finals of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
In 2023, Tom's 21:95 at the 2023 Irish Open smashed Barry Murphy’s fourteen year old Irish senior 50m freestyle record (22:14) making Tom the first Irish swimmer to break 22 seconds.
Perfect for Young Swimmers
Tom Fannon’s two-hour Skills Clinic at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre is designed to boost confidence, refine technique, and inspire young swimmers. With small group sessions, spaces are limited to ensure personal attention.
Tom will guide participants through starts, turns, and strokes, offering hands-on tips to perfect the finer details of their technique and help make their swimming more efficient and powerful.
The clinic will also include a Q&A session, where swimmers can ask Tom anything about training, competitions, or life as an elite athlete. Plus, participants will have the chance to take photos and get an autograph from Tom.
