Crystal Swimming Pool - Public Hours

danjo-xx

Have to get back to the odd swim as I really miss it, will probably wait till kids go back to school.

Anyone know when would the pool be fairly quiet, say between 12-4pm, weekdays, I suppose most days once the kids are in school.:D

Do you need a swimming cap and what system do they use for your clothes.


Only €8 for a swim which is not bad.

havent been to crystal in a long time but lockers were coin operated last time i was there, 1 euro i think, refundable.

swim caps are required for all pools including crystal. purchasable on site but maybe cheaper elsewhere. only a couple of quid anyway.

kingfisher is also available to the public for the times that suit you. access must be between 2-4pm, but as long as you access between those times, you can stay in the pool for as long as you want. last time i used crystal, some sessions were only for 50 mins. a padlock is required for the lockers in kingfisher. recommend a combination lock, purchasable at reception for 5 euro.

Well. I work out there,
Up till the end of August there are Public Swims till 7pm. All day so can come in anytime and stay as long as you want,
It all Depends on the day if it's busy or Quite,
Timetable will Change in September

You do need to wear a hat, can be Purchased at Reception for €1.95

Lockers are €1 and you get it back once locker is opened.

There also a block of 10 Visits for €50

Cheers guys,

When using the coin locker, does the coin release the key attached to a rubber band which u keep on your wrist when swimming is that how it works.

responded to this but it didnt post

yes, when you insert your euro coin, the key is released. the straps are plastic but comfortable enough while swimming. some of the straps and lockers were broken when i was last there, so chose wisely.

turn up maybe 15 mins or so early for a session as it can sometimes be busy

last time i was there, it depended what was going on in the pool that day. if you timed it right, you could get a couple of hours in the pool. minimum session lengths are 50 mins.
