Swimming Classes

Odysseus

I am planning on starting some swimming classes soon and was wondering if anybody has any info or recommendations on places that teach swimming classes. I work in Tallaght so near there would be handy, but depending on the times I can travel. There is a place in Tallaght, but the next classes don't start until Sept, so I hoping for something a bit sooner. Cheers.

Odysseus, If you can't sort out anything more convenient, I'm happy to teach you in the city centre. Are you a complete beginner?

Cheers thanks for that Hunnymonster, I will get back to you. I can manage about 10 feet!!! However, I have no fear of water or anything like that. When I read the stuff about the classes in Tallaght and seen "beginners [Shallow End]" I just went NOOOOOOOO!!!! I had images of being handed water wings

naw, it's just easier for instructors with a class of beginners to keep them in the shallow end. One-on-one you go straight in at the deep end. In a first lesson a lot of the work would be with a float or pull bouy to get a feel for the water.
