    That's close to my work, I'd be interested to know how deep it is. I'm in Ben Dunne's place in Kimmage and it's quite shallow. Cheers.

    Hi All! Hoping ye can help me.

    Considering going back swimming again. Stopped when I was 15 so it’s been a while! Hoping to find a quiet pool so I can avoid embarrassment as I get back into the swing of things.

    I was thinking one of the hotel pools as I reckon they’d be quieter than your typical leisure centre/gym. I'd be going after work - 6-9pm or there abouts and at the weekend in any of the following: D22, 24,12,15,7. If anybody could recommend any options for me, that would be fantastic!

    Can anyone recommend where to get swimming lessons in Galway in a group setting or 1 on 1 if prices affordable?

    Also, anyone know where you can do aqua aerobics that are good?

    Thanks

    :)
