European Week of Sport 2026 is a Europe-wide celebration of being active, and Swim Ireland is proud to play its part as part of the national movement led by Sport Ireland.

From 23rd-30th September, communities across Ireland will come together under the #BeActive banner, highlighting the many ways people can enjoy sport and physical activity.

Here at Swim Ireland, we’re bringing that national campaign to life through activities and opportunities designed around the interests, needs and strengths of our communities.

Whether you’re looking to try something new, get back into activity, or simply find a way to move more, there will be something for everyone.

Find out what our activators have organised in various locations:
