Adult swimming lesson

jjbsligo

Hi All - can anyone please advise on good adult swimming lessons in the south Dublin area? - intermediate / advanced level. I would need either Monday or Wednesday am / pm.
I was looking at the National Aquatic centre that run nightly from 7.30 however toll charges would add up!! If I knew they were good, I'd justify it. Can anyone feedback on what the National Aquatic centre lessons are like?

Thank you

I did intermediate/advanced lessons there and they got me going. I started when I was able to do bad breaststroke and no frontcrawl.. as the weeks went on more people dropped out, so it hit the point that you basically have an instructor for 2-3 people in the class. If you've some basic technique it may be worth joining a tri club if they have any beginners swim sessions, otherwise the nac lessons are a good way to go... also, if your not a member it works out cheeper to take lessons there than it does to pay into the pool

Thanks Guys. I never knew about Glenalbyn pool being 33 meters so thats great. Lessons start 7th Feb - 8 sessions =85 euro.

National Aquatic center is 10 weeks for 90 euro.

I am looking to improve my technique so question which would be the best! I am coming from Rathgar so both a bit of drive. I swim quite allot and want improve my tri times from last year. I would really enjoy swimming in a group - I have looked in to tri clubs however cant seem to find a swim session for days I have free.

If you are already a good swimmer trying to improve, then you may already have outgrown the Glenalbyn Monday night classes. They do have a masters club/team, but that may not suit your schedule.

The gym im in does adult swimming lessons, WESTPARK FITNESS. Im not sure of days or times but if you ring them up im sure they will give you details. I also know that Pulse Triathlon club use these facilities if this is any help to you.

In terms of location you could call into swan fitness in rathmines... they have a new pool, and when I saw their initial timetable had a masters swim scheduled for mon/fri mornings. Might be worth checking out?

Would you have a link to details of the NAC lessons by any chance? Can't seem to find it on their website.

Sorry about delay in reply PC11 - I cant find info on their site either for the adult lessons - I got the details over the phone.

If the NAC isn't far enough south for you , Newpark has a program of one-on-one adult lessons that their teachers do as a sort of "approved nixer" (or did, a year or two back, when I got some). They also have various "normal" swimming lessons, though the kids ones are very hard to get into.

Mespil Swimming Pool (on leeson st.) are starting a new 8 week course on the 23rd Feb for beginners, improvers and advanced. The advanced class will be more of a masters type class involving training for improving stamina and technique and for those who are looking for a challenge
