In Summer season 2023 we ran back to back five week evening classes which catered for all levels. These open water coached sessions attract great interest and have been very successful in helping swimmers achieve their goals.

DESC has opted to keep our focus on seasonal open water for our swim skills. This is because winter access to swimming pools in Waterford is extremely difficult both for reasons of availability and costs for a small Club. Our Head Coach, Rachel Mulcahy, however is happy to provide pool class options for our members. Email; DESCswimskills@gmail.com

Meanwhile of course our distance swimmers continue to train through the year and take part in sociable swim events throughout the year.
