Swim For A Mile Programmes 2024

Become a confident swimmer in 2024!!

Swim Ireland, Cork Sports Partnership and Leisureworld Cork have teamed up to host 4 new Swim For A Mile Programmes in Bishopstown, Churchfield and Douglas starting in January 2024!

What is Swim For A Mile?
Swim For a Mile (SFAM) is a 10-week swimming programme, that enables adults and children aged 16+ who can swim a little, to swim a mile! The programme is written by Swim Ireland coaches and runs from January 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 10 weeks, participants have the chance to complete a timed mile (or half mile) in an official Swim For A Mile Challenge Event.
