Para 1, Para 2 & Para 3
The Para groups are for those with physical disabilities to realise their full swimming potential in a fun and safe environment while under the direct coaching of qualified coaches. Swimming is widely recognised as one of the best sports for those with physical disabilities due to its wide range of therapeutic benefits. The classes are kept small and each swimmer has a parent / helper with them until they are able to achieve independence in the water.
Titans is associated with the Halliwick Swimming Association of Ireland. The Halliwick concept of teaching swimming is based on principle of hydrostatics, hydrodynamics and body mechanics.
Aim: The aim of these groups is to ensure the benefits of swimming to those with physical disabilities, including providing aerobic exercise and improvement to muscle strength, all in a low impact fun environment.
Competitions: for those who wish to and are ready, there is the opportunity to enter competitions in the mainstream arena, but there are also a few competitions which can be entered under their disability classification.
