Funding boost for 16 Mayo swimming pool operators
A Mayo Oireachtas member has welcomed the announcement by Sport Ireland and Ireland Active that Mayo swimming pool operators are set to receive a funding package of €166,913.
Senator Lisa Chambers commented: “Swimming Pool operators demonstrated their resilience throughout the pandemic.
"It is important that this resilience continues.
"The funding announced today will assist swimming pool operators in Mayo to continue getting communities across the county active and providing a real-life skill.
"This has never been more important and is essential for our physical and mental wellbeing.”
The funding allocation is an acknowledgement of the importance of the sector and the impact swimming has on the nation’s health.
Ireland Active was appointed by Sport Ireland to administer the swimming pool grant scheme, supported by partners Swim Ireland.
Swimming pools provide a vital resource for schools, clubs and communities across the country, and it is important that this infrastructure is maintained going forward.
This investment will help swimming pool operators continue to provide safe and essential service which is vital to sustain swimming and maintain high physical activity levels.
