    Hi, looking to take up swimming again.. btw I'm a fatty fat now, but I used to be decent and was making steady progress towards national records when I was younger :D So I need a club who won't laugh at my obese ass, with a decent pool as the title suggests. But it has to be northside, Santry, Drumcondra, Ballymun etc.. any suggestions? Cheers:)

    Olympic? I'm pretty sure it's a bog standard 25m pool. But I hear it's excellent.

    However, I believe the OP is looking for a club rather than just a pool.

    www.CoolmineSports.com is beside the Blanchardstown centre. That's more west than north, but still northside. =)
    Then there's Westpoint and the National Aquatic Centre.

    The Westwood Gym in Clontarf has a 50 metre pool.

    It also has a Dracula Museum... which is pretty cool...

    ALSAA in the grounds of Dublin Airport, not the main complex.

    Oh... just remembered the Sportslink gym in Santry... that should be the closest for you.

    http://www.sportslink.ie/

    It's a horrible website and seems a little out of date... but I think they have a pool there now. My nephew does karate there each week.
