Swim Ireland has said that it is cooperating with gardaí after the suspension of a coach at a Dublin pool.
The governing body of the sport said that a matter was raised with their National Children's Officer, who in line with its procedures, contacted the statutory authorities straight away.
The matter is now being investigated by gardaí and the coach has been suspended.
All relevant protocols are active, it said, and its priority is to offer appropriate support and to cooperate with the garda investigation.
