I'm putting together a map of swimming pools in Dublin, I have got 17 in so far, but I'm sure there are a lot more. If anyone has any suggestions of pools I'll try and put them up too.

Wow, what a great idea! Thanks OP!

I've been living in Harold's Cross for 3 years now and I had no idea there was a pool down the road in Terenure! I'm heading there tonight now!

Great job.

Swim Ireland have a fairly comprehensive list here not sure if you've checked this out already, lists for all other counties too.

Obviously not quite as good as your map, but you could approach them too to see if they're interested in adding your map.

There is a new pool in Ballinteer see below

Martin Cullen TD, Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism this afternoon (Thursday 7th May 2009) officially opened the new Meadowbrook Sports and leisure facility at Broadford Road, Ballinteer, Dublin 16.

I've put the map up on Google Maps... so now anyone can use it on their site

Here's the link:

Will update the rest of those pools this weekend hopefully!

moved house recently, still finding my bearings. thank you for the list, it was great.
there should be a new gym opening in Sandyford (BSQ) as well, but not clear when and if they have a pool. also a Crunch in Cherrywood, 100% with a large pool.

Glenroyal Hotel in Maynooth has 2 swimming pools. One for Kids and One for Adults.
NUIM also has a pool

There is a 22m pool in the Maldron Hotel on Cardiff Lane, Dublin 2. It is a member only thing though ...

I'm new in Dublin, but love to swim. So thanks for the map.

cian287 · 29-12-2010 9:28pm

Not sure if it counts but I swam in an endless pool in Ballymount today ?

picorette · 05-01-2011 11:47am

To update your site:
Meadowbrook Swimming Pool opened in Ballinteer in 2009.
Rathmines new pool opened in 2010.
Both have excellent facilities.

Jackie Skelly (or what ever it is now called?) opposite Nutgrove Shopping Centre, beside the Aldi outlet.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to tell which of these pools are public and/or pay-as-you-go?

picorette · 23-08-2011 9:45am

No easy way (unless original creator changes it)

For southside local authorities, these are the main public pools (although plenty of the private do pay-as-you-go public swims) :

For the northside, Fingal County Council do not provide a list on their website.

ciaraciara86 · 03-09-2011 2:13am

PARANA · 06-09-2011 3:18pm

The best and longest swimming pool is in Westwood in Clontarf:)

ciaraciara86 · 06-09-2011 11:50pm

hey yeah i have to say west wood is great BUT you should check out the lenght of that pool i have heard its not 50m long!!! did u ever wonder how ireland had a "50m pool" and never used it for comps???

swimmer_hoop · 08-09-2011 11:47am

Rumour is that it's 49.5m long, or 49.9m but was made that way to avoid Galas. I dunno I only trained there once so not sure, only rumours.

Not got the facilities for Galas anyway, even if it was 50m, too shallow for comfortable diving off blocks.

Castle Park Swim Academy in Dalkey

Madda · 08-08-2012 10:29am

Hi all, I am just after moving to the Dublin 1 area. I was wondering if anyone knows of a swimming pool that I could go to once or twice a week near Tara Street station?

andywozhere · 08-08-2012 10:36am

Hi Madda,

The Markievich is just beside Tara Street Station. It's on Townsend Street. Number 25 on the map . You can either join or pay-as-you-go.
