Swimming lessons

Frasier

Hi. In forties, never swam. Not scared of water but a bit nervous about learning to swim. Anyone start late with good results in Cork : willing to travel anywhere in City or county. Would u recommend one to one or group sessions. Cheers all

Eilis Burns in Silversprings is excellent, she taught me to swim and at age 37 I thought I was a lost cause. Go for private lessons, and try to get to the pool a couple of times in between.

Thanks Diziet. Much appreciated. Must just build up courage now!!!!

you're certainly not alone in learning to swim later on in life, and never too late either.
I know Leisureworld do classes for adults but I don't know how good the classes are and it's a bit exposed in that place really, you may want more private tuition as Diziet mentioned.

There are ten free swimming lessons available on the 'swim for a mile' program. I know some people who did it last year and they found them great.

They have various levels, from complete newcomer, to improvers.

One on one is the only way to go though

Diarmuid was an epic swimming when he was a kid
