Registration will be opening shortly for our Indoor Challenge which is due to take place in June 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note that training lists, schedule and costs are managed by the individual pools and not by Swim For a Mile.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, those who register for an&nbsp;event with us will also receive access to&nbsp;<strong>SFAM only, <\/strong>technique clinics&nbsp;from former International and Olympic swimmers at designated centres. But be warned, the clinics fill up quickly so early registration is advised! You\u2019ll be able to book clinics via your SFAM dashboard on the first Monday of March, April and May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s news section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"charity-partner\">Charity Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"children-s-health-foundation\">Children&#8217;s Health Foundation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Swim For a Mile\u2019s Official Charity partner is the Children\u2019s Health Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children&#8217;s Health Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in CHI hospitals and urgent care centres in Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght and Connolly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10% of every SFAM registration goes to The Children\u2019s Health Foundation and the fantastic work that they do, participants are also encouraged to continue their fund raising efforts in any way they can:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/swim-for-a-mile-2022?utm_source=Sharethis&amp;utm_medium=fundraising&amp;utm_content=swim-for-a-mile-2022&amp;utm_campaign=pfp-email&amp;utm_term=0fb3e6e992284fe5bccaac89790104b5\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/swim-for-a-mile-2022?utm_source=Sharethis&amp;utm_medium=fundraising&amp;utm_content=swim-for-a-mile-2022&amp;utm_campaign=pfp-email&amp;utm_term=0fb3e6e992284fe5bccaac89790104b5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">donate<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/swim-for-a-mile-2022?utm_source=Sharethis&amp;utm_medium=fundraising&amp;utm_content=swim-for-a-mile-2022&amp;utm_campaign=pfp-email&amp;utm_term=0fb3e6e992284fe5bccaac89790104b5\" target=\"_blank\"> to Children\u2019s<\/a> Health Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"divider wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-started\"> GET STARTED<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"\/my-account\/\" style=\"background-color:#a8002c\">Sign up<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size\" style=\"font-size:26px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"\/account-login\/\" style=\"background-color:#6ec1e4\">Log in<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does it work?
