High Performance Swimming
The development of the Andy Hunter Swimming initiative was born from the fact that high performance swimmers in N.Ireland had nowhere further to go to enhance and develop their swimming performance. It has long been recognised that swimmers who are limited and restricted by club level training, for whatever reason, simply had no other option. That is no longer the status quo for a high performance achiever who wants to go further and avail of our Services. We in N. Ireland have been sadly lacking in any viable additional development programme of sufficient caliber, where a potential Olympic swimmer can go to train, develop, enhance and enrich themselves within this sport on an individual basis. Andy has recognised this fact and has now offered a new platform for all qualifying high performance swimmers, from all clubs in N. Ireland & Ireland. The opportunity now exists, to train with like minded swimmers under his extensive and demanding coaching methods, yet still combine their own club training and status as part of their overall personal development programme.
