    Hi folks

    What pool in Dublin has the warmest water?

    Its not that I'm a wimp, have swam in cold water all my life - lakes, seas, anywhere

    Have developed an allergic reaction to cold water: seriously, there is such a thing! (Yes, it was news to me, too - a nasty shock)

    So if I want to swim at all, it needs to be good and warm.

    Recommendations? Southside if possible. Cheap if possible!

    Palmerstown, Stewart's hospital. Water must be well over 35c, feels like getting into a warm bath.

    There's a fairly close link between warm temperature and bacteria, so make sure you don't get other kinds of allergic reactions.

    What do you mean by "warm water", anything over 20 or it has to be 25-30-35?

    I don't really know. Haven't swam since I had the diagnosis.

    And the water in the Irish Sea that day was about 18C, very warm, last August.

    I'd say, to avoid the reaction, around 30C probably. [A guess]

    I would suggest you contact Enable Ireland in Sandymount. Their pool is very warm as it is used for physical therapy . I know they used to have public hours but I haven’t been there in a few years.
