SPORT IN FOCUS | SWIM IRELAND
As part of our Sport in Focus series we have dedicated a full day to swimming and diving in Ireland.
With the assistance of our friends in Swim Ireland we explored the world of Irish swimming and diving in one full day – with details about the National Federation, how to get involved, who to watch, what a day in the life looks like and what lock-down training looks like.
On our instagram page we enjoyed a day of takeovers with divers Ollie Dingley and Clare Cryan, as well as swimmers Darragh Greene, Danielle Hill and Shane Ryan.

SWIM FOR A MILE
Swimming.
Tempted to give it a go after today? Best place to start is with the @swimforamile challenge with @swimireland
It’s all about becoming a more confident swimmer, while making a few new friends on the way with free clinics and timed events.
Set that as your target! pic.twitter.com/58mnScvxwR
