Swimming pool

wheres me jumpa

Can anyone recommend a public swimming pool in hte South side. Rathmines is just a few minutes away from but it closes at 7.40pm so not much use to me.

Thanks,

Its a bit of a distance from Rathmines but theres a decent public pool in Monkstown.

The Mespil is members only, there are cheap deals but Im not sure how often I will use the pool so dont want forking out.

You could try Glenalbyn in Stillorgan. It's nice and not too expensive. When i was in shool we had compulsory swimming classes every Friday in blue pool in monkstown. This was before it was refurbished and I still have nightmares about it. I can't go back now no matter how nice people say it is!

When I was very very ickle I used to go to Snadymount to the pool there, I remember it being a nice pool but I can't remember whether you had to pay or not!

Downtime

Terenure College swimming pool has re opened after an extensive refurbishment and is open until 10:30pm

There used to be a really bad one in Ballinteer, but it was closed. Thats one thing the southside lacks, a good comunity centre with things like a swimming pool that isnt some big business gym.

A couple of the private gyms have pools, I think there is one on Clarendon Street and another in Dartry.
