Askeaton hosts a 25-metre heated swimming pool, and kids learn to swim heated pool accompanied by a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and state of the art gym equipped with cardio section, strength area with free weights and a fitness studio.

What level is my child?
When deciding which level to book your child into, always keep in mind that it is much better to move your child up a class because what they are doing is too easy, than moving them down because it is too difficult.
A negative experience caused by fear can damage their confidence and be much harder to overcome and as such will hamper progress.
Being at ease and relaxed, where a child feels comfortable, will allow them to feel safe, they will feel proud of themselves, and this will only enhance their learning experience.
When selecting the level of class for your child, and you have any doubt at all, choose the lower level – Swim Ireland will always move your child up to the next level if they are in the wrong class or the activities are too easy for them.
This level is for complete non-swimmers, your child may not have done swimming lessons before, be a minimum of 4 years old, normally children at this level will be nervous of putting their face in the water and uncomfortable when they are out of their depth or without parental support.
This level is for beginners who can move around the pool wearing arm bands or swim discs, your child will learn to be safe without any floatation aids, will learn to move under the water and on top of the water.
By the end of this level your child will be able to float unassisted on their front and their back and be able to move through the water over 5 metres.
This level is for children who can submerge under the water and float on their front and their back without any artificial aids or any physical support from an Assistant Swimming Teacher.
Your child will be able to move comfortably but won’t have any specific stroke technique. By the end of this level your child will be able to show basic kicking action of all four strokes, hold a streamline position and be in a position to keep themselves water safe.
This level is for children who can show kicking action of all four strokes and will begin to learn the arm action and develop their technique over 10 metres
Level 5 is for children who have the ability to swim effective front crawl and backcrawl arm actions, can demonstrate effective 10m front crawl with bilateral breathing and 10m backcrawl with good technique. In Level 5 children will continueto develop further stroke technique for front crawl, backcrawl and breaststroke legs and arms actions.
