Swim Ireland is thrilled to be announced as an awardee of the Disability Participation and Awareness Fund 4.0!

The funding awarded will support the expansion of the Swim Access Project, allowing Swim Ireland to roll out the initiative nationwide and target 100 swimming pools over the next year.

The Swim Access Project is a collaborative initiative that places accessibility at its heart, operating through a structured, disability-led design approach to improve accessibility in public swimming pools.

Since its inception, the cross-sector partnership has brought together National Governing Bodies, Disability Organisations, Local Authorities, and people with lived experience of disability, all committed to a shared rights-based approach.

Swim Ireland would like to thank Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley TD, Minister of State Emer Higgins TD, as well as Rethink Ireland, which is managing the fund on behalf of the Department of Children, Disability and Equality.
