The Irish Guards take their free time very seriously, so when they are not on exercise or maintaining the vehicles, they are away Adventure training, which includes such activities as skiing and scuba diving in locations ranging from Bavaria to Belize. Failing this they are taking part in a sport of their choosing.

Below you can read about some of the sports that the Battalion excel in and also some of the Adventure Training that the companies have taken part in.
