Build confidence, improve technique and get stronger in the water with a structured 5-week coached programme in the Ballyhass lake setting. Designed for adults who want more than a one-off session, these lessons give you the consistency, support and progression to feel genuinely better in open water.
These lessons are built for adults who want real progression, not a once-off dip. The 5-week format gives you time to settle in, build trust in the water, improve technique and feel the difference week by week in a supportive Ballyhass environment.
Ideal if you are comfortable with the idea of starting, but still feel nervous about swimming outdoors or out of your depth.
Best for adults who can already swim continuously and want to become more efficient, more relaxed and more capable in open water.
The structure is intentionally straightforward so adults can choose a course, lock in one time slot and build momentum over 5 consecutive weeks without confusion.
Select the course start date that suits your schedule best.
Choose the beginner or intermediate slot that matches your current level.
You return at that same booked time each week for the full 5-week course.
Coaching progresses across 5 consecutive weeks so confidence and technique can properly grow.
Choose the course that suits you best, then select your weekly session time. Once booked, you return at that same time each week for the full 5-week course.

Your booking covers the full course, not a single class. You choose your course start date and your session time, then return at that same time each week for 5 consecutive weeks.
Ballyhass Adventure Pass holders can book the same 5-week course at a reduced rate.
A few of the questions people usually ask before booking their place.
You are booking the full 5-week course. Your place is for the same session each week across 5 consecutive weeks, not for a single one-off lesson.
Yes. Once you choose your slot, you attend that same time each week for the full 5-week course. This makes the programme easier to follow and gives much stronger progression.
No. Beginner sessions are designed for adults who want to build confidence and improve gradually. Intermediate sessions are better for swimmers who can already swim 50m continuously and want to improve technique, stamina and open water comfort.
Bring your swimwear, towel and any usual swim essentials you like to use. Wetsuit rental is available at Ballyhass for €3 if needed.
Yes. That is one of the biggest reasons people join. The beginner groups are designed to help adults feel calmer, safer and more confident in the water week by week.
Each session has a maximum of 8 swimmers, which allows for better coaching attention and a more supportive learning environment.
Adult swim lessons run as a structured 5-week course. Choose the start date that suits you, pick your session time, and return at that same time each week for 5 consecutive weeks of coached progression.
