Kingfisher Fitness Club Summer Swim Camp

If you have a child who is wobbly in the water or one who already knows the basics but needs to sharpen up, the Kingfisher Fitness Club Summer Swim Camp in Renmore is a genuinely useful way to spend a week of the summer holidays. It runs every week from 1 July right through to 23 August 2026, so families have real flexibility around timing. The programme takes ages 4 to 13, from complete beginners to reasonably confident swimmers - all ability levels are welcomed and each child works at their own pace rather than being pushed through a one-size syllabus.

What to expect

Sessions are run by fully qualified and experienced swimming instructors and divided into four skill levels (Levels 1 to 4 at Renmore). From the first session the focus is practical: water confidence, body position, breathing control, and stroke technique are all worked on, with instructors adjusting the challenge to each child’s ability. A full week of daily sessions means children make measurable progress rather than the modest gains of a once-a-week class. Children typically come away feeling genuinely more capable in the water. Spaces fill fast, so booking early is strongly advised; contact renmore@kingfisherclub.com or call 091 773344 to check availability and pricing.

Getting there

Renmore is on the eastern side of Galway city, a straightforward drive from the city centre - roughly 10 to 15 minutes depending on traffic. If you are coming by car, follow the N6 east and then the R339 towards Renmore; the club has on-site parking. Galway is well connected to the rest of Ireland: the M6 motorway links it to Dublin (about two hours), and Bus Eireann express coaches run regularly from Dublin, Limerick, and other cities to Galway Coach Station on Eyre Square, from which local buses serve the Renmore area.

While you’re in Galway

A morning swim camp leaves the afternoon free, and Galway rewards the time. The Long Walk, the Latin Quarter, and Salthill promenade are all close, and the Aran Islands ferry runs from Rossaveal just west of the city for a full-day trip worth planning around. There is more to see in Galway and across Co. Galway.
