@gardainfo @IWSie @gardacollege Wouldn't it be brilliant if all the local children in Templemore were given access to the @gardacollege swimming pool so they too could save lives.

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@gardainfo @IWSie Well done to all involved. Lifesaving skills are vital and so important that every child is given the opportunity to learn how to swim. @gardacollege Templemore have a wonderful swimming pool but the local community still have no access to the pool .

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

A year on ... ..
Minimum access for two schools but @gardacollege still refusing to allow Friday night swimming classes for children. Please fill out this survey. It only takes 30 seconds so we can understand current local need for swimming lessons .

This issue was supposed to be sorted. Then Taoiseach in November even commented. A broader symptom re Garda involvement with communities?

Thank you to @StJosephs_PS and @NaomhColmcille6 for protesting today outside @gardacollege . Our presence resulted in @SimonHarrisTD and @GarretAhearn spending time with the children who desperately want to learn to swim in Templemore .

[StJoseph'sTemplemore @StJosephs_PS]

5th & 6th Class students from @stjosephs_ps & @NaomhColmcille6 stood with @swimtemplemore at the Garda College today to protest the fact that the children of Templemore still have nowhere to swim.
Thank you to Minister @SimonHarrisTD for taking the time to meet with the children

@camp_ireland Tell that to @gardacollege templemore with over 800 children on a waiting list to learn how to swim and no access to the pool where their parents learned how to swim

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@jackfchambers Jack why have you been silent on the @gardacollege templemore refusing to let young local kids learn to swim in their pool? A tradition that has been going since 1965. How does this match with your national swimming program?

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@PolicingAuthIRL can the policing authority make a statement regarding the access to the @gardacollege swimming pool for the community of Templemore?

[Tipp FM @TippFM]

A local campaign group say there has been no progress on reopening the pool to locals in Templemore

⁦@gardacollege⁩ ghosting the community of Templemore going back on its word to give access to the swimming pool by November . How can the public ever trust ⁦the management of the garda college? ⁦@MichealMartinTD⁩⁦@HMcEntee⁩ https://t.co/sF50A5Ans4

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@MichealMartinTD the @gardacollege has not issued licences to the schools/community groups in Templemore. No child has access to water safety classes. You said you could resolve this and this country promotes water safety.What is your position now!@HMcEntee @jackiecahillff

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@EamonRyan you stated in the Dail a month ago that the issue with the community of Templemore using the @gardacollege swimming pool would be sorted out in a few days. Schools and community groups still have no access! What have you to say now?

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@gardainfo Keepingpeoplesafe??
What about keeping the children of Templemore safe? Open the pool like you agreed to do so our children can learn how to swim #wejustwanttoswimtemplemore #grantthelicence @MichealMartinTD @podonovan @jackiecahillff

@gardacollege @opwireland @podonovan have not responded to any local schools or community groups to restart swimming lessons. They continue to ignore the needs of the children of Templemore and the direction of @MichealMartinTD . @NiallJournal_ie @jackiecahillff @HMcEntee

[We Just Want To Swim - Templemore @swimtemplemore]

@gardacollege @GardaTraffic @opwireland @HMcEntee ignoring all the advice and putting children at risk in Templemore . #grantthelicence so our kids can learn how to swim NOW!! @MichealMartinTD @jackiecahillff @tippmidwest @podonovan

[Water Safety Ireland @WaterSafetyIE]

Learning to swim looks different around the world. Inclusion #ForEveryChild means having the right to learn to swim. So this #WorldChildrensDay, lets raise awareness and encourage inclusion for every child #DrowningPrevention #WaterSafety @unicef
