Swim Camp - Swimming Lessons for Adults & Kids

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant coaches at Swimcamp. If you're just starting out on your swimming journey they are really supportive and know how to get you off on the right track. If you're a bit more experienced and confident they'll push you pretty hard (in a good way!) so your fitness and technique really improve. Swimming is such an amazing way to keep fitness and mobility up and Swimcamp are the perfect people to do it with in my view. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to swimcamp masters for a couple of years and absolutely love it. My fitness has improved as well as technique thanks to the coaching and it's always a good laugh too. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Swim Camp have given me the confidence and motivation to get back in the pool and build my fitness. Sessions are both challenging and rewarding. The coaching is encouraging and positively constructive to help swimmers get more from themselves and continuously improve their technique and fitness. A great team of coaches too!

Fantastic experience: Great organisation & event. Thanks folks.

Fantastic experience: A memorable exciting experience that has launched me into sea swimming, thank you. SwimCamp are a professional and welcoming team, I was guided through each step and felt safe throughout.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the team at Swim Camp! The instructors are very attentive and in tune with each child’s needs. My daughter learned more in 3 lessons than in months of lessons with another swim school. My daughter can now go under the water, without holding her nose (something she was absolutely terrified about!) Her technique and confidence have grown greatly in the short time she has spent with the instructors so far. She’s so excited to continue with her lessons with the Swim Camp team. Thanks so much ☹️

Fantastic experience: A great camp was full on for 3 hours . Great instructors I learned lots of tips to improve my swim stroke and the Yoga class was fab

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend it enough. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I felt confident,safe and very well looked after. Thank you Swim Camp for organising this for people who want to develop their confidence to swim in open water.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend a swim Camp Dublin. I was a swimmer who could not breathe properly or keep my stroke. I was delighted with all the coaches, support, encouragement and expertise. Best wishes to Hazel who departs for Oz. I feel I have made real progress and will go back in the autumn for phase 2.

Fantastic experience: I was always afraid of putting my face in the water,I overcame this by having brilliant teachers making me feel very relaxed and confident. Love swimming now and definitely recommend SwimCamp if you want to learn to swim.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for the incredible day. I learned so much and had a lot of fun while out in the open water.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous to do the swim challenge as it was my first but the instructors are brilliant and everyone was so encouraging. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be doing more!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic swim camp this weekend. Great atmosphere of fun and learning. Well suited to all swimming abilities.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend the SwimCamp lessons to anyone thinking of getting into sea swimming. Lovey staff and make you feel at ease with no pressure at all. I’m now confident to tackle my first sea swim on my own after the few lessons. Thanks to all at SwinCamp

Fantastic experience: Excellent teaching in small groups. Our 5 year old started in March & is already so confident with his swimming. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable, great to meet like minded people and share tips. Great attention to safety. Good to work on stroke, starts, turns for races

Fantastic experience: Skilled instructors in a great pool.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my first session with Swim Camp in Seapoint. I learnt some new skills to take forward with my triathlon training and I felt very welcome and relaxed with the friendly coaching today

Fantastic experience: For beginners , improvers of all ages , A Swim Camp is worth a visit , if beginning in the sea you will be thought respect and safety from the start , if advancing , your technique and endurance will improve.

Fantastic experience: Really great session and will definately sign up again. Everybody was really friendly and coaches were very patient. I would need to attend this intro session a couple of times more as I am a fairly weak swimmer and need to build up more confidence before thinking of moving to next level. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Joined swim camp on Friday 7th June For my first sea swim lesson it was fantastic was able to put my head in the water for the first time in years. The instructors are so encouraging and absolutely no pressure you go at your pace can’t wait to do it again Margaret Homan

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Felt really relaxed and guided!! Cuppa and treat very welcome Thank you

Fantastic experience: The instructors here are amazing. They are patient and really knowledgeable. They know how to teach.They focus on technique so you actually learn what each part of your body needs to do in order to swim successfully. Lovely atmosphere and lovely people. The great thing about the castle park pool is that there's no deep end so when learning you can always stop and stand up - no fear of being out of your depth. I was so afraid of swimming and now I look forward to it.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the lessons - small class size and very knowledgeable instructors.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team at Swim Camp - I thorougly enjoyed the sea swimming one off workshop and would highly recommend Susan and Manuela - they make you feel very comfortable especially as a beginner to sea swimming

Fantastic experience: Positive atmosphere in the mornings with friendly faces all around , coaches and participants alike. Really enjoyable and confidence boosting experience, felt very supported by the coaches and uplifted after our sea swims.

Fantastic experience: It was amazing experience for us as we wanted to put our 6 years old daughter into private lessons as she struggled with group ones. So booked our daughter for assessment and amazing Manuela very shortly during assessment came to us and said that our daughter doesn't need private lessons and she is welcome to join the group. Not sure what it was but she did seemed to be comfortable in the pool with her teacher. She felt sat ease with Manuela and her teacher Julia. And that's how our journey began. She loves going to her weekly classes and a when we signed her up to intensive camp she was delighted. Thank you so much Manuela and your team for giving one of the most valuable skills my daughter will learn .

Fantastic experience: I think it's something all triathle s should attend, no matter their proficiency in swimming. Nothing more frustrating than swimming endlessly and going nowhere. I totally enjoy the positive and regards feedback

Fantastic experience: I did the 5 hour Intensive Technique & Endurance Clinic and can only say it was excellent, from start to finish. I started learning and picking up tips from about minute 3 to the end. The coaches were so relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable with almost constant feedback and tips. Thank you all so much.

Fantastic experience: I can't express enough gratitude to Manuela and the whole team at Swim Camp for their incredible patience and clear instruction during my son's swim lessons. He's 8 years old and absolutely loved every moment! Not only did he have a blast, but he also learned so much. This was his second time attending the intensive swim lessons, and in just three sessions, his confidence soared. Now, he's completely hooked on swimming and has eagerly signed up for regular lessons. Thanks to the amazing teaching at the camp, he's now moved up to level 3. Huge thanks to everyone involved for their dedication and support! Highly recommend Swim Camp to anyone looking for quality swim instruction.

Fantastic experience: Super swimming morning with really useful technique drills without being overly technical. Individual attention to correct problems that I found really useful. Endurance session pushed me to the max! Thanks to all the team .

Fantastic experience: Joining Swiim Camp has been a great, I had no confidence in any water situation, and would never go in the deep end of a pool. I now am quite confident in water. The teacher's are all so good and ever class builds up your swimming abilities and the attention to detail is what makes all the difference. I look forward to every class in swim camp.

Fantastic experience: Great instruction and support in the Beginners swim class, a jam packed lesson every week with loads of support and guidance!

Fantastic experience: I am attending the adult beginner swim lessons with Swim Camp in Castle Park and I could not be happier. Susan and Manuela are positive, supportive, patient, focused, observant and trusting coaches. I feel so confident in the water now and I will continue with the lessons to keep improving and challenging myself.

Fantastic experience: I loved my Swim Camp lessons and am delighted with all that I've learned. The instructors are fabulous, patient and observant. The explanations and demonstrations were clear and progressive so that at the end of even one lesson, I felt I had learned so much. I am taking time out now to practice but will most definitely return and look forward to more swim camp lessons in the near future.

Fantastic experience: Great camp, well run. After 3 days I could see a good improvement in my daughter’s swimming ability. The coaches were very patient with the kids, and it’s great to have to consistency of the same coach for 3 days in a row. My daughter would definitely do it again.

Fantastic experience: I had 4 great sessions with SwimCamp in Castle Park. From the minute I got into the pool to the last minute, I was learning good swimming techniques and improving. The coaches were very good at explaining and demonstrating how things should be done. Well worth doing and I will be signing up again! Hubi

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have tried to learn how to do the front crawl but to no avail! I am on my second 4 week session of classes and really feel that I am making progress! Instructors are all fab and am really enjoying the classes. I actually look forward to getting up for the 7am class ! Many tks !

Fantastic experience: Great sessions in the pool, always a variety of sets and a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Highly recommend it and thanks to the team and Susan!

Fantastic experience: I joined Swim Camp to try and get back into regular swimming, starting with improvers lessons, then swimming for fitness and have progressed to masters swimming because of the super tuition that has improved my technique and ability to swim distance. We are always being challenged and pushed while at the same time getting guidance in a friendly and supportive environment. Swim Camp caters for all abilities, and I highly recommend them to any swimmer of any level.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend the Swim Camp lessons in Castle Park. The coaches are very skilled and they are very welcoming and caring. It is great for beginner swimmers because the coaches get into the water with the kids. This really helps to build their confidence each week and it makes them feel secure in the water. The coach/ swimmer ratio which is another big plus. My children have improved so much over a relatively short period of time, progressing from needing arm bands to knowing all their swim strokes and being independent swimmers. They have also really benefited from the swim camps at mid term breaks.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful teaching underpinned by inclusion, kindness and fun

Fantastic experience: Fantastic outcomes for our kids' swimming development. Having spent a lot of time and money at other lessons, where the classes were too big and the teachers inexperienced or unable to give adequate attention to the students, we found Swim Camp. Within their first 10-week season our kids made, genuinely, more progress than they had in the previous two years with other providers. It cost a little more than we were paying previously, but the return has been ten-fold. It's so worth it. The management are a joy to deal with and the teachers are fantastic with the kids. Our kids are in their fourth season with Swim Camp now and looking forward to swimming with confidence on holidays this year and even asking how/where they can enter competitions!! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Delighted I moved my daughters here. Small numbers of swimmers where coaches are tentative to their group. I can see their swimming ability and confidence growing.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic swimming lessons. So child centred and supportive. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Harry is thriving at Swimp Camp. Absolutely loves it and the improvement is noticeable!!

Fantastic experience: My two kids have come on leaps and bounds with the teachers in these swimming lessons, so much so my daughter has now joined a swim club to compete. Their confidence has grown so much, the teachers are so patient, often in the water with the younger kids during the lessons correcting on technique etc. 100% recommend. Very friendly & relaxed atmosphere. Thank you team

Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes with dedicated and encouraging teachers- both my children improved their swimming greatly after attending these lessons.

Fantastic experience: A great environment to improve your swimming confidence and technique.

Fantastic experience: The team at Swimcamp are dedicated to what they want to achieve for the swimmers participating in their classes. I now have an awareness of where I can sharpen my swimming techniques

Fantastic experience: I've learned that nothing I knew about swimming was correct, but I've loved relearning with Susan and her colleagues. An excellent team who push you hard and teach you well. The open water swimming sessions in the sea are challenging and a lot of fun

Fantastic experience: The 3 day intensive swimming course really helped me gain confidence. The instructors were fantastic - offer a perfect mix of guidance motivation and encouragement. Gave me the confidence to continue my swimming journey.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are great and everyone is so friendly. My swiming has really improved and so has my fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Another few weeks over me at swim camp and I feel so relaxed in the water now compared to a while ago I wouldn't look at a pool let alone get in, thanks to all the coaches and staff at swim camp truly amazing work you all do

Fantastic experience: Swim Camp is the best decision we ever made for our kids swimming skills. They have thrived because the coaches are friendly & attentive. A huge thanks Susan & Manuela.

Fantastic experience: Manuela, Susan and the whole team are doing a wonderful job providing small-class weekly swim lessons for children (beginner up to improving strokes). We attend the classes in Castle Park. We love the fact that there is a teacher in the water with the younger ones. Smaller classes than usual and teachers who know each child’s progression (and their names!) make for a great learning experience. My kids have improved so much since joining Swim Camp. Manuela and Susan are also wonderful to deal with. They seem to really care about each child and where they are on their swim journey.

Fantastic experience: The team were amazing and I could see the progress very clearly in my son after a short time. The facilities are really good. Would recommend the Swim Camp to anyone wanting to start or progress their child's swimming

Fantastic experience: Fantastic swimming lessons! Enthusiastic and encouraging teachers. Highly recommended Swim Camp.

Fantastic experience: Very well run lessons. Very enjoyable and welcoming experience. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Susan in Swim Camp. It was a really encouraging environment and she provided tailored feedback on how to improve.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the beginners' swimming lessons. I find the teachers wonderfully patient, kind and so inspiring and helpful! And I'm finally learning to do front crawl :)

Fantastic experience: The Coaches are very helpful, friendly and encouraging. They break strokes down into steps to improve technique and performance. My swimming technique, stamina and distance has really improved since attending Swim Camp lessons.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the open water introduction at Seapoint Beach as I was not comfortable swimming in the open sea especially when out of my depth. I explained my concerns to Manuela. She reassured me that the coaches would teach me how to stay safe and become confident when out of my depth in open water. By the end of two sessions I was able to swim out of my depth without fear. I learned the techniques used when needing to rest in the open water, I was taught how to adapt the front crawl when swimming in the open sea. I learned all about the importance of siting at all times when swimming in the open water. Our coaches Sam and sabreal were very clear in their instructions. They were friendly and encouraging. They remained very close to us in the water at all times, helping us improve our techniques. Finola

Fantastic experience: Swim camp are friendly, knowledgeable and safety conscious. Their classes are a great, fun way to build confidence in the water.

Fantastic experience: My son loves swim academy, small class and amazing coaches, since starting I’ve noticed a significant progress in his swimming. I would absolutely recommend for all levels of swimmers.

Fantastic experience: Swimcamp has been an amazing find for me and my kids! My son loves his lessons and has made great progress. I have gone from being a swimmer with minimal technique to confidently swimming lengths and am now looking forward to taking on open sea swimming lessons! I would highly recommend Swimcamp to anyone looking to learn or improve their swimming skills, whether they are a kid or an adult!

Fantastic experience: Susan and the gang at Swim Camp are brilliant! I would fully recommend Swim Camp for novice swimmers who want to ease themselves into the water, right up to advanced swimmers wishing to push their stamina and improve their stroke. There's a very supportive atmosphere amongst swimmers, fostered by Susan. The coaches have a keen eye for where each individual is at in their swim journey and they encourage and push swimmers to reach their individual goals. Also, what a venue! You really can't beat Clontarf Baths as the perfect spot for sea swimming development and training!

Fantastic experience: Best kid’s swimming lessons around. After watching my 7 year old struggle to do more than 3 strokes in another place for over a year - the amazing coaches at swim Camp identified what she needed to do in 5 minutes and she was doing half a length after a session!! My 5 year old spent 1.5 years at other lessons in a baby pool and again after 2 sessions she was jumping in the regular pool touching the bottom, and actually did a few strokes by herself in deep water. These are the swim lessons of all swim lessons. Small groups of 6ish, coaches in.the.pool. with the first three levels which is a complete game changer for confidence. My girls skip to the lessons each week, feel such confidence in themselves and their abilities and they love swimming now. BIGGEST stamp of approval from me. Do yourself and your kids a favour and go to swim camp.

Fantastic experience: Great swimming coaches, good facilities and friendly atmosphere. I am making rapid progress

Fantastic experience: These guys are pros. Making it a safe and fun learning environment they have taken me from a non-swimmer to feeling comfortable enough to sign up for my first triathlon! I did a 6week beginner course and a 4week intermediate technique course and couldn’t recommend enough for everyone, all levels. Just do it!

Fantastic experience: I booked my first 4 weeks beginner lessons and my swimming have improved tremendously. The swimming coaches are very special and the key to such successful lessons , their experiences, their attention to details when conducting a lesson and their energy around the room is wonderful. They deserves their flowers . I on the other hand, will continue with my lessons at swim camp until I start walking on water!. :). Here is to the wonderful coaches at Belvedere college, Swim camp.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed my first set of classes with Swim Camp in Belvedere college. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and learnt a lot in each class. It’s good value for money and the teachers are excellent! Would highly recommend and will be returning for more.

Fantastic experience: Definitely improved my confidence out of my depth. Great classes and would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I would like to sincerely thank all the coaches for giving me a rediscovered love of swimming and confidence to finally try open water swimming. The coaching was excellent and the coaches created a great friendly atmosphere so it never felt daunting and was a lot of fun . Looking forward to Spring 2023 sessions in The Baths Clontarf already

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved swimming at the baths with swim camp on a Monday and Saturday! All of the coaches were very encouraging and really knowledgeable helped improve your stroke and cover more distance to get race ready! Looking forward to next spring!

Fantastic experience: Swim camp at clontarf was very enjoyable way to exercise. All levels catered for. Knowledgable and friendly coaches.

Fantastic experience: Susan is an excellent swim coach and i benefited hugely from her guidance and support. Huge thank- you Susan.

Fantastic experience: I have always wanted to learn the front crawl and am now well on my way - thanks to the ever smiling and all knowing instructor, Ben. I've also met other learners of all ages, who are good fun to with, so I have nothing but good things to say about my first swim camp, I loved it, so much so that I have already signed up for another.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the Swim Camp classes. Susan was a fantastic teacher who took the time to explain everything thoroughly and she corrected us individually. I learned so much during my six weeks doing the Improver classes.

Fantastic experience: The Best thing I've done for myself in a long while, the Instructors at Swim Camp are fantastic, the skills and drills we did in the Clontarf Baths will give me such confidence in the open water. A great experience and looking forward to signing up to another block in spring. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fantastic experience: Great to be able to swim in the Baths. The lessons are brilliant, very professional team that clearly enjoy helping people improve their swimming. Thanks, I will be bad when the weather gets warm again.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Swimcamp Ireland

Fantastic experience: Excellent! Couldn't recommend Swim Camp more. So helpful, a great bunch of instructors and I really enjoyed swimming with them all summer. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I did the improver open water course during Sept and found the course to be very positive for my aim to improve my sea swimming ability. It is challenging and rewarding, would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great swimming course. Did the improver to help with my triathlon swimming. Really helped with my sighting and technique.

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed the swim camp sessions to date. Have picked up plenty of tips and I think I've improved. Looking forward to the next block of sessions

Fantastic experience: Took beginner lessons to get back to basics. Trainer was great! She gave clear, detailed instructions about technique and breathing. Signed up for more classes in October See ya’s then!

Fantastic experience: Open water challenge was fab. Very calm killiney beach. Ben was very encouraging. great have swimmers near and the kayak.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience yesterday at my first swim camp with coaches Debbie, Sofie and the team. Very welcoming and it felt I was among friends throughout. Very safe too and left with enthusiasm to work on the swimming tips and drills shown. Special thanks also to the lovely lady providing the hot chocolate and buns after!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing 1-1 adult swimming lessons with Susan for a couple of months . Prior to this I took group lessons elsewhere but felt I was making little progress. The 1-1 lessons with Susan have been amazing and I’ve made so much progress thanks to her. Susan breaks everything down so clearly and has such a helpful teaching style! I recently swam in the sea for the first time thanks to everything I’ve learnt from the lessons. I’m going travelling later this year and for the first time I’ll be able to swim in the pool! I highly recommend swim camp!

Fantastic experience: I did the 3 days intensive beginner’s training in the pool recently. I am a confident breast stroker but have never been taught front crawl. Susan is a great teacher and after the course I feel I know enough of the basics of the technique to put it into practice. Thanks a lot for the clear instruction and a fun experience.

Fantastic experience: Beginners pool work has made front crawl so much easier especiallly with the correct breathing technique.

Fantastic experience: Excellent swimming lessons with great instructors who teach with enthusiasm and encouragement - totally changed the attitude of my kids to swimming lessons. And I really enjoyed the adult lessons also.

Fantastic experience: Top class lessons. Swim camp are fantastic. There’s something for everyone. I’ve done lessons at the Clontarf baths and in Killiney and sea point with swim camp. Safe, Professional, friendly, fun and very informative. These girls and Ben were top class. Always on hand with info. In the water with us and had muffins and hot chocolate waiting for us when we got out. What’s not to love. Five star lessons for sure.

Fantastic experience: Despite awkward start on their part and mine, it was good to know what I don't know and what I do wrong.

Fantastic experience: A great way to improve at swimming from every level - from just getting more comfortable in the water or competing in big swimming events, they treat everyone with the same respect and attention. Lovely crew.

Fantastic experience: When I started with SwimCamp I could barely do 4 strokes. I have just returned from their swim camp in Mallorca where we did sea swims and pool swims (50m). Expert guidance and coaching with so much positive and constructive encouragement is their hallmark. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Had a great private session with Susan this week. She really helped my confidence as I never really think I'm a very good swimmer! Unfortunately I don't live locally but if I did I'd definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd term, really enjoy the social aspect and my swimming has improved greatly with the guidance of my swim coach keeping an eye on my technique. Look forward to continuing. Thank you
