Swim your Mile
Prepare for your challenge through attending SFAM training sessions and designated technique clinics
How does it work?
Swim For Mile is back for 2022 with the relaunch of our Indoor Challenge as well as our Outdoor and Individual Challenges. Registration will be opening shortly for our Indoor Challenge which is due to take place in June 2022.
Swim Ireland coaches have written swimming programmes that will enable those who can swim a little to swim a mile in just 12 weeks. You can choose to follow the programme on your own or join one of the SFAM training groups at a participating pool close to you.
Please note that training lists, schedule and costs are managed by the individual pools and not by Swim For a Mile.
For those who wish to set a definite target for themselves, swimmers can opt to complete their mile in an official Swim For A Mile challenge event, where their swim will be timed and they will receive a Swim For A Mile pack.
What’s more, those who register for an event with us will also receive access to SFAM only, technique clinics from former International and Olympic swimmers at designated centres. But be warned, the clinics fill up quickly so early registration is advised! You’ll be able to book clinics via your SFAM dashboard on the first Monday of March, April and May.
Check out our Pool List to find a participating pool near you now. Everyone will also receive training tips, video demonstrations and online support throughout the programme via our website’s news section.
