Campion Insurance has announced its sponsorship of a revolutionary Athlee Camera System for Templeogue Swimming Club – marking a major technology investment in the club. Templeogue becomes one of the first swimming clubs in Ireland to integrate this world-leading technology into their training, reaffirming its position at the cutting edge of coaching innovation and athlete development.
This sponsorship reflects a shared vision between Campion Insurance and Templeogue Swimming Club – one centred on high performance, continuous improvement, and community leadership.
The Athlee System, already trusted by elite international swimming programmes, offers advanced underwater and above-water video analysis capabilities. This system allows for real-time feedback and frame-by-frame breakdowns of stroke mechanics, turn execution, and race starts – elements that can define elite-level performance. It is a game-changing tool for coaches and swimmers who are striving to gain a competitive edge.
Brian Sweeney, Head Coach at Templeogue Swimming Club, praised the new technology: “The Athlee System brings a new competitive edge to Templeogue. Our coaches now have a powerful tool to deliver precision feedback, and our athletes – whether they are juniors, seniors, or masters swimmers – will benefit immediately from enhanced technical analysis. This is a significant step forward for the club and we thank Campion Insurance for their support.”
The system will be utilised across the club, including by two-time Olympian Ellen Walshe, who is currently preparing for the World Championships in Singapore later this year.
“Having access to the Athlee System is a game-changer,” said Walshe. “Every detail matters at this level, and now we can fine-tune our technique like never before. I’m excited to use it as part of my race preparations.”
Templeogue Swimming Club’s Masters Team, a successful group of adult competitive swimmers, will also benefit from the system. With several athletes representing the club at past European Masters Championships and upcoming World Masters Championships in Singapore, the integration of elite-level analysis technology further strengthens the Masters programme.
Campion Insurance has a strong tradition of supporting community initiatives and performance excellence. Speaking about the Athlee System Damian Smith, Head of Commercial at Campion Insurance said, “Campion Insurance is delighted to partner with Templeogue Swimming Club. Their constant drive for excellence and willingness to embrace innovative technology to stay ahead mirrors our own values. We’re proud to support a club that develops talent from grassroots to the world stage.”
