Free Family Swims for European Week of Sport 2025!
Cork Sports Partnership is making a splash this September by teaming up with swimming pools across Cork City and County to offer free family swim sessions as part of European Week of Sport 2025!
From Tuesday, September 23rd to Tuesday, September 30th, families can enjoy quality time together in the pool — completely free of charge. This initiative is all about encouraging families to get active together, have fun, and celebrate movement in their local community.
What’s Included?
Each ticket covers 1 adult and 1 juvenile, giving families the perfect opportunity to dive into physical activity in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Whether you’re splashing around or swimming laps, it’s a great way to move more and connect.
Pre-registration is essential, so be sure to book your spot early through the registration link

European Week of Sport is built on the values of:
No matter your age, background, ability, or fitness level — sport and physical activity are for everyone. This is your invitation to find your way to move more, in a way that suits you.
