Watersports Inclusion Games

The Watersports Inclusion Games is an award-winning, free, multi-watersport event welcoming people of all abilities and disabilities including physical, intellectual, sensory and learning differences and anyone who experiences barriers to mainstream sport. 

Open to all ages, participants, along with family and friends, can try an exciting range of activities including sailing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, powerboating, dragon boating, snorkelling, windsurfing and more. No experience is necessary, and all activities, equipment and support are provided. 

Organised by Irish Sailing in association with Canoeing Ireland, Diving Ireland, Spinal Injuries Ireland, and the Irish Wakeboarding and Waterski Federation, the Games showcase how watersports can truly be for everyone. 

Since winning Project of the Year at the National Inclusion Awards (2018), the event has gone from strength to strength and now welcomes over 300 participants supported by 200 dedicated volunteers each year. 

The Watersports Inclusion Games are about fun, friendship, and freedom on the water, proving that with the right opportunities, everyone can experience the thrill of watersports.
