Our full timetable can be downloaded here.

Tallaght Swim Team members are divided into 3 squads, A, B and C. The A and B squads are further divided into A1, A2, B1 and B2. Progress from the C squad through to B and A2 squads is dependent on a number of factors, including but not limited to attendance at training and times achieved at galas.  To join the A1 squad, a swimmer must achieve at least one National Division 1 time in competition.

A recent addition is the A3 squad, which trains 3 times a week and is aimed primarily at swimmers who have been in the A squad but who cannot maintain a high level of training due to school or other commitments.

We also have a 'Teaching Class' section for swimmers making the move from lessons to lane swimming.

Total weekly training hours available are as follows:

 Squad Pool Dryland
 A1 15.5 2
 A2 14.5 1
 A3 3 1
 B1 11 1
 B2 7 1
 C 4.5 1
 Lanes/Teaching 3 0

Each swimmer is expected to maintain a minimum of 50% attendance in order to maintain a place in his or her relevant squad.

Any A squad swimmer who is unable to swim but able to train (eg ear infection or similar condition requiring him/her not to do water-based training) may, with the approval of the coach, do dryland training using the equipment at the back of the pool as a substitute for swim training.

Additional Optional Dryland Training

Additional optional dryland training is available for the A squads on Wednesday and Friday from 6-6.30pm, using the equipment at the back of the pool (VASA, chin-dip, etc).  Please refer to the signup sheet for more details.
