  • Coaching Series Ep6 - Brian Sweeney talks Ellen Walshe, Athlete Retention, and Templeogue SC
    Apr 17 2021

    Our final episode in the series features the passionate Brian Sweeney, who is head coach at Templeogue Swimming Club, home of Ellen Walshe - the first Irish woman to swim 100m Butterfly in less than 60 seconds.

    Team TSC is a thriving club with swimmers joining after Learn to Swim and continuing all the way through to Masters level, including getting involved in Open Water.

    It's home is a small pool in Dublin, which Brian and Ellen are at the heart of.  She first entered Brian's radar aged nine, insisting on swimming a 500m sponsored swim entirely Butterfly.

    Her love of the stroke has been nurtured by Brian to the point where next week she will attempt to swim the Tokyo 2021 qualification time for the 100m Butterfly at the Irish National Team Trials.

    Apr 15 2021

    Steven Beckerleg, National Centre Dublin senior assistant coach, is our guest on the penultimate episode in The Swim Ireland Podcast Coaching Series!

    Steven works closely with National Senior Team Head Coach Ben Higson, coaching the likes of Olympian Shane Ryan and Darragh Greene, who has met the qualifying time for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.

    Steven also leads Swim Ireland's F4-24 Programme, which aims to qualify a female relay team for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
