Who is Swim Ireland?
Encompassing the four provinces of Ireland, Swim Ireland is the governing body of swimming in Ireland. It is operated by a voluntary board of Directors who are democratically elected by the club members making nominations to and voting on the candidates at the Swim Ireland Annual General Meeting.

Swim Ireland (a company limited by guarantee) is the National Governing Body for swimming, water-polo, diving and associated aquatic disciplines in Ireland.   It incorporates the Irish Swimming Association, the Irish Water Polo Association and Swimming Teachers and Coaches in Ireland.  It has over 12,000 members and 140 Affiliated Clubs.  Its primary funding comes from money received from the Irish Sports Council, and members' affiliation fees.

Strategic direction and leadership comes from the Swim Ireland board made up of 11 volunteers comprising a Chairperson, Treasurer, Company Secretary and two representatives from the four regions. The operational side is managed by the CEO in conjunction with the 18 (and growing) office staff. Committees of volunteers are also established to assist in the running of the organisation.

Volunteers and paid staff are considered as partners in implementing the mission and programmes of Swim Ireland with each having an equal but complimentary role to play.  

Swim Ireland has recently appointed a dedicated Leinster Development Officer to help, guide and support Leinster as a region and its member clubs.  Trish Mayon can be contacted in Swim Ireland on –
