After a years break, Swim For a Mile is back and preparation is well under way!
We encourage swimmers of all abilities to take part in the challenge, with our mantra ‘If you can swim 2 lengths comfortably, we will get you to the mile!’. We want to encourage as many people across Ireland to dive back into the challenge in 2026 and improve their water confidence and swimming efficiency!
We are working with facilities all around the country to get them signed up to deliver events and programmes. As we finalise details we will update the website.
Just remember if there is no pool near you for training? No worries! Remember that you can download the weekly training programme from your SFAM dashboard, just click “Training Programmes” and select your desired week and format!
We have a host of super handy demonstration videos, showing you how to perform drills, kicks and stroke’s! Check out our youtube playlist here!
With most participating pools starting training in early 2026, keep an eye out as we update the website with all the sign up details and locations you need. Its a great opportunity to sign up and enjoy the preparation surrounded by a group of people all on the same mission.
If you cannot see your local SFAM pool below, we will continue to add training times and days as they are confirmed so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox!
