Today sees the start of Women in Sport week and Swim Ireland is kicking the week off with an exciting launch of it’s new digital learning platform “The Athlete Hub”. The Athlete HUB will provide learning and development opportunities to athletes outside the pool.
The Athlete HUB has been designed for athletes aged 10-19 years, covering a range of topics such as injury prevention, sleep and recovery, nutrition and hydration. There is also specific content aimed at female athletes, supported by Sport Ireland and HER Moves.
The resources section features a range of healthy recipes to meet the needs of hungry athletes, while the forum page provides an opportunity to request the content that you want to see in the future.
Parents, coaches and those outside of the aquatics are also welcome to sign up and check out the content, complete courses and use the resources.
Over the coming months the Athlete HUB will be expanded with health information and resources for athletes of all ages and across aquatics disciplines, with new content added monthly.

Who is The Athlete HUB for?
We currently have content available for 10-19 year olds but anyone with an interest in aquatics or Swim Ireland are welcome to access the Athlete HUB.
I’m a Masters swimmer, is there anything for me?
Stay tuned, we are working on adding additional content this year for all of our aquatics family.
What will I find on The Athlete HUB?
We have a wide range of learning opportunities, covering topics such as nutrition and hydration, conditioning and injury prevention, lifestyle and wellbeing, and the female athlete.
Courses range from 5 minutes up to 4 hours but you can dip in as it suits you.
There’s plenty of videos and other interactive learning experiences to keep you busy.
I don’t see anything I’m interested in, will there be more content soon?
Yes, we will add new content each month, but let us know what you’d like to see on The Athlete HUB in the forum page or by email to education@swimireland.ie
