Adult Swimming Lessons in Tipperary
Meagher Swim Academy on the Old Dublin Road is Tipperary's lone adult swimming provider — remarkable for a county that stretches 130km from Nenagh to Cahir. Adults in north Tipperary are closer to Limerick's UL Arena; those in the south may find Waterford or Kilkenny more practical. Meagher's specialised coaching is excellent, but one provider cannot serve an entire county.
