swimming groups instead of competitive clubs? South County Dublin

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows of a more casual club without the emphasis on competitive swimming in the South County Dublin area suitable for late teenagers? My daughter, good but not competitive swimmer, more lifesaving then racing, completed her pool lifeguard course and is keen on doing her beach qualification…

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone knows of a more casual club without the emphasis on competitive swimming in the South County Dublin area suitable for late teenagers? My daughter, good but not competitive swimmer, more lifesaving then racing, completed her pool lifeguard course and is keen on doing her beach qualification in Spring 2020. She needs to improve her general swimming ability but is finding it hard to motivate herself for solo general lane swimming in her local pool. As an ex competitive swimmer myself I spent last winter coaching her myself from the viewing area in the local pool but she doesn't want her dad to be her coach anymore!
Clubs in my area that I know of tend to concentrate on competitive swimming, too young for Masters Clubs but on a personal level I think she would benefit from a club experience and light training with others.
Hoping someone on the forum can give me a few pointers as to where to look. thanks
