Sharing our passion for the water with the world

Our philosophy is a simple one – water is fun and safety is paramount. Living on an island as we do makes it incredibly important for us and our children to understand both the fun that can be had in water and the dangers it can pose. Our school is dedicated to aiding swimmers of all ages and abilities to be confident and safe around water.

Our pool provides swimming lessons in Pearson’s Bridge, West Cork and has a shallow end and a deep end, so that we can teach everyone from small children to divers.

Our Sterilisation system does not use any chlorine, Instead relying on UV, ionisation and oxidation which makes it suitable for people suffering from asthma, psoriasis or any of the other conditions aggravated by chlorine.

We offer swimming classes for all abilities for both children and adults, catering for groups such as the G.A.A., Special Needs Groups, and local schools. We are not open to the general public for leisure swimming.
