Masters Swimming Club Dublin
Stop Training Hard.
Start Training Smart.
You can swim – you're well past the learning-to-float stage. But if you're stuck doing the same sets, the same pace, and wondering why nothing's changing, that's where we come in. Structured sessions in Dublin for triathletes, Iron Man competitors, and open water athletes who demand results.
Where Serious Swimmers Find Their People
This isn't a drop-in group where nobody knows your name – it's established swimmers who push each other, share tips between sets, and leave every session better than they came in.
A Community That Gets It
You'll recognise faces, have a laugh between intervals, and probably grab a coffee after. This isn't a drop-in group that changes every week – many of our swimmers have been with us for years, pushing each other through hard sets and sharing tips on wetsuits and race-day nerves.
Technique That Actually Works
Susan watches, corrects, and explains why – not just vague 'pull harder' advice. She'll break down your stroke, sort out your breathing timing, and fix that thing your catch does that's costing you speed. Improvements that stick whether you're in a pool, a lake, or the Irish Sea.
Fits Into Your Bigger Picture
Training for a triathlon, Iron Man, or open water race? These sessions slot into your bigger training plan and make everything else you do during the week more effective. We're not trying to be your only session – we're the one that makes all the others count.
Race-Ready Skills
Pacing strategy, sighting in open water, handling race-day conditions off Sandycove or across Dublin Bay – the stuff that separates training from actually performing when it matters. You'll leave every session knowing something you didn't before.
Coach Susan
Susan and her team don't just supervise – they coach. Every session has them on deck watching, correcting, and explaining why. Not sitting in a chair while you swim laps. From competitive squad coaching to open water specialists across Dublin Bay, they know what works for serious swimmers and they bring that experience to every single session.
More Than Training – It's Belonging
- Coached, not just supervised – Susan and the team are on deck giving feedback throughout, not watching from a chair
- The session that makes your other training count – sharpens your technique and builds your engine for everything else you do during the week
- Train with us, keep your club – swim with SwimCamp Masters (Swim Ireland registered) or just train with us alongside your current club. No politics, no pressure
- Built for events: triathlon, Iron Man, open water off Sandycove, marathon swims across Dublin Bay
- The kind of group where you'll grab a coffee after, share tips on race-day nerves, and make training the best part of your week

Swimmers Who Found Their People
"The Masters sessions completely changed my approach to training. Susan's coaching helped me build the endurance I needed for my first Iron Man, and the group keeps me motivated every week."
"The Masters sessions completely changed my approach to training. Susan's coaching helped me build the endurance I needed for my first Iron Man, and the group keeps me motivated every week."
"I've trained with different groups over the years, but the structured approach here is different. My technique improved dramatically and my times show it."
"Love the community aspect – you're surrounded by swimmers who get what you're trying to achieve and push you to get there."
"The difference between swimming alone and training here is night and day. Everyone's pushing each other without even realizing it. I hit personal bests I'd been chasing for months within my first few weeks."
"I thought I was training hard on my own. Then I joined Masters and realized I'd been coasting. The group energy is addictive – you find yourself doing sets you never thought possible."
"Best decision I made for my swimming. Being surrounded by swimmers who actually care about improvement changes everything. My stroke feels completely different now, and my endurance has doubled."
