Maghery Pier outside Dungloe and Creevy Pier in Ballyshannon are the two locations for an Introduction to Open Water Swimming Programme for teenagers.

Run by Donegal Sports Partnership, it gets underway next Monday, August 16th.

The programme, which will be delivered in conjunction with Swim Ulster, is designed to increase confidence and enhance technique in Open Water. There will be a 30-minute pre-course Zoom session with the coaches and this will be followed by four one-hour practical sessions in each location.

Speaking about Donegal Sports Partnership’s latest initiative, Karen Guthrie, Community Sports Development Officer said: “This course is suitable for complete beginners to open water who are making the transition from the pool, as well as outdoor swimmers who want to build their confidence and refresh their skills.”

“With more and more people spending time close to home this year, and making the best of our own natural environment, now is a great time to take up open water swimming. We want to help teenagers make their first steps into open water as enjoyable as possible.

“This course has been designed to give them the confidence they need to swim safely and develop their open water swim confidence and skills under the guidance of fully qualified and experienced open water skills coaches,” she added.

The price per course participant is €35.
