Facility Reviews
Adult sessions are not lane sessions, so length swimming can be a little awkward but is encouraged. There is no public swimming on Mondays. The pool is clean and well supervised. Lockers are not provided, baskets are left poolside.
Adult sessions have two lanes down for swimmers who prefer to do lengths; the rest of the pool is free for leisure swimmers. All other public session have one lane down to allow parents to have their swim while their children play.
One lane is open for lap swimming during the Adults & Children sessions. You swim on the left in Ireland - just as you drive. The lane was a bit narrow but it's not a problem if there are few swimmers (as was the case for me). The water seemed a touch warm. There are definitely lockers now; you use a €1 coin as a refundable deposit. There is a communal change room for males/females with individual cubicles for changing. Unofficially, however, it divides into a male and female half based on where the toilets are. There are no showers other than three poolside ones as you enter or leave the changing area.

A comfortable, clean pool that's too small for its town, so public times are restricted to sessions, but session times are longer than before. Both building and pool are comfortable and warm.
