    Hi I travel to Dublin regularly and want to swim after work on Saturday / Sunday evenings (or alternatively early in the morning around 7am the latest). Are there any pools in Dublin that are open at that time & allow non-members / visitors to use the pool on pay-as-you-go access? I've checked the international swimmers guide but can't find anywhere! Really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

    Thanks, I'll check them out. The problem seems to be, that most places close around 5 or 6pm on a Saturday and Sunday, whereas I only finish work at 5pm the earliest. I'm based on East Wall, but will travel if I can find somewhere that stays open.

    Thanks that looks the best so far. I visit often enough to be able to make use of a card. I'll drop by this weekend when I'm in Dublin and ask about it. Thanks a lot!

    Thanks for all this so far! I visited the Cardiff Lane pool yesterday, the pool is small but a fab place otherwise, really happy with the find. I bough a card for them and will go again next time - they close at 7.30pm which leaves me plenty of time. Chuffed, thanks!

    The NAC looks interesting too, and open late on Sundays, too. I might check it out if I can find a reasonable way to travel there. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Club Vitae is a fine pool. My wife worked there for years when we lived in Dublin. I even taught adult swim lessons there for a few weeks.

    Thanks guys this has been really helpful. Club Vitae is really good and a short distance from where I'm based. This coming weekend I'll be staying little longer so want to try the NAC on Sunday evening. 

    Any swim buddies for a Sunday evening set (on the 1st July), btw? I usually do around an hour maybe hour and half, depends. Possibly fly with some drills and a bit of breast & I'm slow (development level in our club, we have Lanes 1-4 and Development 1-4 and I'm top lane of development but haven't yet made it to the actual lanes).
