SwimCamp Dublin – Open Water & Pool Swimming Lessons Reviews 

Highly recommend the swimcamp lessons. The teachers are patient, creative and committed to help you relax, learn and progress. Starting lessons as an adult is extra challenging but the teachers instill self-belief while allowing you progress as slowly as you need.

Awesome coaches!
The coaches were wonderful, really helped me to push myself and achieve new distances and times. Highly recommend the endurance sessions for those wanting to go that bit further or faster, or who spend most of their time in the pool and want to get into open water. Brilliant experience - will rebook again.

This was a mixed experience: definitely good natured helpful staff and warm friendly attitude. Learnt some new things and the context pushes you beyond your comfort zone. For me the numbers were just that bit too big for it to be a fulfilling learning experience. So yes, a good way to get in the water and stretch beyond your range, but if you're looking for any individual guidance or feedback, I'd recommend a smaller group.

I can't recommend Swim Camp enough! I started out as a complete beginner, feeling nervous and unsure, but thanks to their amazing Boot Camp and classes, I’ve made incredible progress. I now feel confident and comfortable in the water, something I never thought possible!
The instructors are truly fantastic - encouraging, patient, and knowledgeable. They create such a supportive environment that really helps you push through your fears and grow. Every class was well structured, motivating, and actually fun!
If you're thinking about learning to swim or just want to build your confidence, this is the place to go. I’m so grateful I found Swim Camp - it’s honestly been a life-changing experience.

Excellent classes and understanding teachers. Perfect for all levels including nervous beginners.

Well done Ben and Swim Camp Dublin. 4 week session in Castlepark pool really helped to improve my stroke, breathing and stamina. Ben was patient, encouraging and technically very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Thanks. Angela and Faye

Loved it. The outdoor pool in Clontarf was wonderful kind supporting instructors that worked with individual's capabilities & pace. Clear technique advice & with alot of fun included. As an absolute beginner I long to go back in the Spring to continue.All instructors were great but Aoife stood out for me.

Excellent coaching sessions at Clontarf baths suitable for all levels. I was a swimmer once upon a time ... and always wanted to get back to it. 20 odd years later here I am and have just signed up for my 4th block of sessions. Highly recommend to all.

My kids attended the water safety swim class and really enjoyed it. The coach was very helpful and made it a very fun lesson while they learned. I would highly recommend this session .

Wonderful experience at swim camp, I was a beginner and the team is friendly and knowledgeable. I felt safe and supported on my swimming journey, I’ll be back very soon for more !

Ben was fantastic. Picked up on so many elements in my stroke - I have lots to think about 🤣. I wasn’t rotating enough (I thought I was). He some great drills. Highly recommend development session. We swam 1.6k doing drills. Great fun.

I recently undertook 4 weeks of open water swim lessons on Saturday mornings. Our instructor was fun, encouraging and motivating. I loved all the drills and advice and I feel that my technique, fitness and stamina have improved loads. Clontarf baths is such a beautiful setting too. Thanks so much guys! I’ll be back for more.

The coaches were encouraging and gave clear instructions.
It was good to experience swiming out of depth in seawater in Clontarf Baths
Great experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day development course. The group size was small and so there was ample feedback which I found really useful. Our instructor Ben assured us we could do everything at our own pace which was great. We had our own little area to swim out from, away from the crowds at the Martello tower at Seapoint. The hot chocolate at the end was a welcome reward

I participated in the open water challenge in Seapoint. It was super! Very friendly, easy going atmosphere, lots of safety crew and lovely hot chocolate after! Would totally recommend to anyone looking to swim in the sea more, there was a diatance to suit all levels. Thank you to the swimcamp team! Looking forward to the next one already.

My 11 year olds got lots out of the open water swim weekend. At all times we could see they were safe. Their progress was rapid and they both want to be signed up for the next one. That says it all.

Really well organised event - congratulations to the team of Ben, Manuela, Susan and the whole team for doing such a fantastic job of organising and managing a great opportunity to swim in safe race conditions yesterday. Course very well marked, plenty of safety back up. This is such a great team that make everyone of every ability feel welcome. Thank

By far the best swimming lessons of the many we tried.
The standard of instruction, close attention paid by the teachers, and the small class sizes resulted in our children developing very rapidly. Also the management team are a pleasure to deal with.
