    Amazing facility for swimming but very expensive. Also zero prices on website.

    As a former competitive swimmer and having spent a lot of my time in pools around the country up until my early twenties I have only great things to say about this pool. 1)The staff are very friendly and helpful 2)There are plenty changing facilities and lockers of all sizes including family sizes. 3)Swimming tog dryers/spinners 4)The spa area is fantastic with two luxury showers with multiple settings from normal, to rain shower, water spout shower and settings from cool right the way up to hot in temperature. 5)The pool itself for a competition 50m is perfect (obviously being regulation FINA standard). -The water I must say is interesting, when you are used to high levels of chlorine(usually seemed normal) in a pool it at first is quite strange being in this water getting used to it but hands down the way all pools should be with these very low levels of chlorine with UV lamps and high tech filtration systems. - There are always enough slow, medium and fast lanes available to members to not feel on top of or too slow for a swimmer of different ability. -A very minor thing I would change is the temperature, this is always an age old debate what temperature the pool should be. I would say for all round general swimming it really is perfect as is. However, if you are there to clock up some mileage and work hard a lower temperature would feel needed as I tend to over heat but that would not be comfortable for people who really just go to leisurely swim a few and flat around. -The staff regularly clean the tiles on the pool deck which is great and are strict about wearing a hat which is important for the filtration systems keeping a clean pool. All in all great pool, love going there.

    Excellent pool ! Large mixed changing area changing with plenty of lockers, changing rooms and showers. The pool is very clean and well run. The children’s lessons are excellent and they get great confidence when the floor level is highered to standing height (80cm height I think). The pool can actually change to three different heights : .80, 1.3 and 2m Large spa area which has a jacuzzi, rain showers, steam room and more. The children’s pool is perfect size and they love the water jets in it. Only thing I don’t like is that at least one of swimsuit dryers is always broken :(

    Best members only pool in the country. Amazing facilities, clean, great 50m pool and staff are very nice! Changing rooms could be a little more spacious. During peak times combines gym and pool users can get crowded but for everything else it's top! Worth the extra few € compared to other 25m pools nearby. Facilities offered for the price it's great! You wont get a better swim in Ireland

    Great facility. Love the pool. UV treated water makes such a difference. No smell of chlorine makes such a difference. Great saunas and jacuzzi. Haven't tried the classes or the gym yet, but pool is definitely worth it.

    Well staffed and well run facility. Clean and safe. 50m Olympic pool with some lanes for free swim area suitable for kids. Pool depth is 1.35m to 2.0m. A small warm 0.5m deep pool is also next to the large pool. It is suitable for small children. There is a tepaderium with dry sauna, steam sauna, jacuzzi, rest seating area, and multiple showers and an ice machine. Plenty of lifeguards in duty at all times.

    Phenomenal. Glorious 50m pool, clear, deep. Good clocks on the side if you're swimming sets. It's the kind of pool that makes you happy to be alive

    Great pool and staff. But needs to watch the cleaning routines. Busy place so needs lots of cleaning.

    I'd dare to say that's the best swimming pool in Dublin. I love it! Also the saunas & jacuzzi are nice. Several private showers & changing rooms. Always pretty tidy.

    The pool is not adapted for children! The pool for children has cold water and the chlorine concentration is definitely higher than in the adult pool. The only pool in which water has the proper temperature (34-37 degrees) is not allowed for children! What's more, temperature in the dressing room is too low even for adults. What completely disqualifies this pool as a pool adapted for children is the ubiquitous dirt, especially the baby changing tables are dirty (pic below) and on the silverfish are running on the floor! it's hard to get into the building with a stroller because of the revolving door. On top of that Manager of this facility was inconsiderate and incompetent. I do not recommend!

    Top class facilities. I use the pool regularly. If you like it a little less busy, go for 8pm onwards. Changing rooms cleaned well and often

😠 TL;DR The gym has decent amenities but has an absolute terrible selection of weights. The security system is so abysmal that even the garda has said to avoid. Pros: -Pool is pretty good with some great classes/family friendly zones -exercise classes are decent, routines don’t get swapped up but the...
