What is Swim For A Mile?
Swim For a Mile (SFAM) is a 11-week swimming programme, that enables adults and children aged 16+ who can swim a little, to swim a mile! The programme is writteby Swim Ireland coaches and runs from January to May each year. Swimmers can choose to follow the programme in their own time or to join one of our SFAM training groups at a participating pool. At the end of the 12 weeks, participants have the chance to complete a timed mile (or half mile) in an official Swim For A Mile Challenge Event.

You can download your FREE weekly training programme from www.swimforamile.com. Each week contains three sessions, including content, drill descriptions and demonstration videos.
