Athletes from Athlone SC, Bluefin SC, Carrick Fins SC, Galway SC, Longford SC, Shark SC, County Sligo SC and Trident SC have accepted their places on the Athlete Support Programme (ASP) 2022/23.

The criteria for selection includes athletes on both the National and Regional Programmes, but also athletes with qualification times within 3% of the Regional Programme standard.
