We’re thrilled (and a little bit emotional if we’re honest) to let you know the government have announced the 7th June for the reopening of swimming lessons in Ireland 🎉

We were hopeful for a July reopening date but June? We can’t believe it 💛 The excitement is real.

We’ve been preparing behind the scenes for your safe return to the pool. Safety remains our number one priority. All Covid19 safety will remain in place.

Deferred class members will receive an email early next week with details of your Summer term. Waitlist bear cubs will receive an email shortly after. We’ve hundreds of emails to work through so please “bear” with us.

Thank you so much for all your love, support and virtual bear hugs this past year.

We can’t wait to get you back to Swim Cubs. Learning to swim is a gift 💛
