Welcome to the Halliwick Swimming Association of Ireland website. Here we hope to create a space to facilitate the promotion, application and knowledge of the Halliwick concept on a national level.
The Halliwick concept was developed to teach people to swim and become independent in water with an emphasis on happiness and safety. This is done through the ten-point program that was first developed by James McMillan over 50 yrs ago and has been constantly progressing and improving since.
We are over halfway through our second year as a national organisation and are only finding our feet in these early days. So far we have trained a number of people in Halliwick through courses and study days that have been run in different parts of the country.
We know there are a large number of people using Halliwick in Ireland at present and we have yet to make contact with them all and there are a great many people who would benefit from using this concept so we are constantly looking at ways to improve on what we are doing in terms of support, training and awareness.
In order for us to reach out to a wider community of swimmers, professionals, clubs and individuals we need you to make contact with us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Dualta Griffin
Chairman HSAI
