We used 2 places, Diana's swimming academy, think she's based in a couple of different pools, we went to dooradoyle health centre. We also used the swim classes in the maldron.

I would prob recommend Diana's for a 4yr old as the water in dooradoyle is very shallow, so child would probably feel safer there.

The classes in the maldron were excellent though for when they are a bit older. We are using seal now and they seem to be fine too.

tbh a waste of time and money. take them to pool with you and they'll learn soon enough. get stroke correction done with Seal swimming once they are 7.
