  • Swim Ireland Open Water Swimming COVID-19 Return to Water Framework Version 3 (July 2020)
    Swim Ireland Open Water Swimming COVID-19 Return to Water Framework Version 3 (July 2020) Swim Ireland Open Water Swimming COVID-19 Return to Water Framework – Version 3 (July 2020) www.swimireland.ie 1 Swim Ireland Open Water Swimming COVID-19 Return to Water Framework Version 3 (July 2020) Introduction Following the Government of Ireland’s publication of the ‘Roadmap for Reopening Society & Business’ on Friday 1st May 2020 and the Northern Ireland Executive’s publication of the ‘Coronavirus Executive Approach to Decision-Making’ on 12th May 2020, Swim Ireland produced a Roadmap as to how aquatic activities may be resumed on the island of Ireland on a phased basis. As Swim Ireland gain clarity on a number of issues within each Government’s published guidelines, the recommendations and guidelines within this Roadmap have already begun to alter and will continue to be updated accordingly. Swim Ireland have been working with England, Scotland and Wales as part of a ‘Four Nations Working Group’ on these matters and have also observed and studied closely that which would currently be seen as best practice by other European nations. This is Swim Ireland’s third specific guidance document issued in relation to Open Water Swimming during this time. Context Open Water swimming has a similar status to that of walking, hiking, running, and cycling, as a critical healthy activity within our communities. We have taken advices from Sport Ireland, and, in the south, ‘outdoor swimming’ is considered to be an outdoor pursuit that falls under the Government of Ireland’s Roadmap definition for a return in Phase 1 due to commence on 18th May 2020.

  • Swim Ireland 'Living & Swimming with COVID-19' Framework
    Swim Ireland ‘Living & Swimming with COVID-19’ Framework (December 2020) – Version 2 Introduction Swim Ireland’s ‘‘Living & Swimming with COVID-19’ Framework is our plan to align with the Government of Ireland’ and the Northern Ireland Executive’s risk management strategy for the next 6- 9 months. It is designed to allow individuals, families, clubs and facilities to better understand, anticipate and prepare for the measures that either Government might introduce to stop escalation of the transmission of the virus. It recognises the need for society, sport and business to be allowed to continue as normally as possible. The Framework is designed so that we can respond to both national or county/local level restrictions which may be applied. Our strategy, in line with public health advice both north and south of the border is that of suppression. The return to training and competition is on an opt-in basis for all Swim Ireland members, with participants taking personal responsibility to decide whether or not they are happy to return to their clubs and to their sport. High Performance sport is given Governmental exemption through much of the plan and our definition of what constitutes high performance (swimming and diving) is detailed on pages 6 & 7. Additional information and further detail will be provided to the aquatics community through discipline specific documentation.

Irish Water Safety is the statutory body with responsibility to promote water safety in Ireland. This report outlines the wide range of programmes and activities the Organisation undertakes to achieve that objective including the advancement of education, the provision of nationwide instruction in water safety, rescue, swimming, resuscitation and recovery, the promotion of the efficiency and standardisation of the lifeguard service, both in our pools and open water, and the establishment of national standards for lifeguards, lifesaving and water safety. The success of these programmes and activities is due to the contributions of our volunteer members, who serve on Council, within Commissions, working groups and Water Safety Area Committees nationwide. These volunteers serve as instructors, examiners, tutors, organisers and fundraisers both at national and local level and continue to fundraise through our many activities and services that we provide on a voluntary basis in every county in the country.

  • The Rio Review the Official Report Into Ireland's Campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games
    SPÓRT ÉIREANN SPORT IRELAND The Rio Review The official report into Ireland's campaign for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games RIO 2016 REVIEW Foreword The Olympic and Paralympic review process is an essential component of the Irish high performance system. The implementation of the recommendations of the quadrennial reviews has been a driver of Irish high performance programmes for individual sports and the system as a whole. The Rio Review process has been comprehensive and robust. The critical feature of this Review is that the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) took a greater level of control in debriefing their own experiences. This Review reflects the views of all the key players within the high performance system. Endorsed by Sport Ireland, it is a mandate for the NGBs to fully implement the recommendations that will improve the high performance system in Ireland. There were outstanding performances in Rio at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic roll of honour received a new addition in Rowing, with Sailing repeating its podium success achieved in Moscow 1980, demonstrating Ireland's ability to be competitive in multiple disciplines. Team Ireland has built on the success of Beijing and London, and notwithstanding problems that arose, Rio was a clear demonstration that Ireland can compete at the very highest levels of international sport. Sport Ireland is committed to the ongoing development of the Sport Ireland Institute and adding to the extensive facilities on the Sport Ireland National Sports Campus. These are real commitments to high performance sport in Ireland that will make a significant difference to Irish athletes who aspire to compete at the top level.
