Performance Objectives
National & Regional
The Swim Ireland National and Regional Programme provides progressive and targeted support to identified athletes as they develop both personally and as performance athletes. The Regional Programme sits directly below the National Programme and is aligned in both its principles and content. Together, these programmes form a coherent national pathway that supports athletes and coaches in delivering performance outcomes.
Athletes are selected to join the National or Regional Programme for a full season based on their results in the previous season (at Identification Meets) as outlined in each document.
Both programmes operate through to the Irish Open Championships and provide athletes with structured support, development opportunities, and performance guidance as they progress along the pathway
