Public swimming pools in Dublin: There are two 50 metre Olympic sized pools

The public can access several swimming pools in different parts of Dublin.

A number of swimming pools are scattered all around Dublin. While several hotels have their own, but small, swimming facilities, Ben Dunne Gyms (Carlisle, Northwood, Westpoint) provide 25 metre-long pools.

This is the type very common in the city of Dublin. In fact, only National Aquatic Centre and University College Dublin (UCD) offer enthusiastic swimmers 50-metre-long pools, which are open to the public.

When choosing the best swimming pool in Dublin to meet your needs, check opening hours and pool timetables as they differ on a daily basis. Besides, make sure a pool you mean to join is open to the public.

Here is a list of public pools (this does not mean you can come anytime as some times may be strictly for families) you can go for:
