A triathlon club based in Glin, a small village in west Limerick on the Shannon Estuary. This is a niche, community-level club rather than a big-city operation — perfect if you live in the rural west Limerick area and want to train with locals. The swim element will depend on pool access arrangements, which can vary. Best for adults in the Glin, Tarbert, and west Limerick area who want a sociable, accessible entry point into triathlon without a city commute.

Limerick's main city triathlon club. The swim sessions will be one component of a broader training programme covering cycling and running too. If you're specifically after swimming only, a masters club might suit better — but if you want the full triathlon package with a strong local community, this is your club. The Limerick city base means good pool access. Best for adults who want structured multi-sport training and the camaraderie of a well-organised club.

What does triathlon club swim training involve?
+
Club swim sessions are typically 60–90 minutes, held 1–3 times per week at a local pool. Sessions include structured sets covering technique drills, endurance building, speed work, and open-water skills practice. Lanes are usually organised by ability. Some clubs organise open-water sessions at lakes during summer months.
Can I just do the swimming part of a triathlon club in Limerick?
+
Most clubs allow members to focus on whichever disciplines they prefer — you don't have to do all three.
