Swim Connacht Skills Academy Development Camp takes place on Sunday 4 June 2023 at The Complex at Lough Lannagh, Castlebar from 13:00 to 16:30.
We begin with a short presentation for athletes and their parents, introducing the structure of the competition pathway and regional programmes. Athletes will then enjoy two sessions – a strength and conditioning workshop and a pool clinic focussing on effective stroke development.

Registration: Swim Ireland club members born in 2011, who are competing at the Future Challenger Series. Registration will only work through the athlete’s Swim Ireland Membership profile (and not the parents membership). Places are limited to 35.
For coaches working with athletes aged 12 & under, our upcoming Skill Clinics will focus on breaststroke drill progressions.
These 90-minute sessions will be led by the Head Coach of the host club.
Once registered for the clinic, coaches will receive an outline of the current thinking on the foundations of breaststroke technique and some of the drills that can be used to support the development of a strong technical foundation. A CPD point will be credited to Swim Ireland profiles on completion of the clinic.
