Swim Ireland Launches New Interactive Swim Spots Map

Find and track your outdoor swimming spots

July 13, 2021

Swim Ireland is pleased to announce the launch of its new interactive online Swim Spot Map, a project funded by Sport Ireland’s Innovation Fund and supported by Local Sports Partnerships through information sharing.

Swim Spots – swimspots.meandthewater.ie - takes the guesswork out of your trip. It gives real-time weather, forecasts, tides and other local information, like parking and facilities. You can even give a shout out to others via the comments section.

Adam Cox, Swim Ireland’s Head of Clubs and Community, said: “We were very grateful to receive funding through Sport Ireland’s Innovation Fund, which has helped us develop a website that will provide you with all the information you need to swim outdoors and to connect with your tribe.

“In developing this project, we worked closely with Sport Ireland’s Local Sports Partnerships to gather as much data as we could to ensure that people could access the most up to date and relevant information for their chosen spot. We are also excited that you will also be able to connect with other swimmers and local ambassadors to answer your questions on swim spots around the country.

“We have 200 open water swimming locations to date and will be adding more constantly. We also want images and feedback from users, and as we continue to build our Me and the Water tribe, we believe that this Swim Spots Map will further help connect people together.”

Bookmark swimspots.meandthewater.ie and save it to your phone's home page so you’ll always have the most up to date information to hand for your swim spots.

If your spot is missing, and you want to help provide all the necessary details to get it added, please email meandthewater@swimireland.ie.

We would also LOVE photos of every spot, so if you have a high quality image you would like to share, please also email it to the address above.
