The 26 best pool spots in Dublin

Clean pool, lovely staff, really nice patient children's swimming teachers. But now unfortunately the price has gone up to €105 for eight, 40 minute lessons, and the number of children in each group has also gone up. 11 children in a goldfish level class today. Way too many.

Love the place, the staff is also very friendly and helpful. People from the pool are usually respectful. Great pool, clean and warm water. One star less due to toilets, sometimes they are not clean. Other than that, very nice place to swim. Recommend especially for people with kids, but even for just adults who want to swim is a great place.

Today, I took my daughter to this swimming pool. We bought tickets at the counter at 1:39 p.m. At 2:30 p.m., the staff said that the pool was closing and we had to leave. My daughter and I had just entered not long ago and hadn't had enough fun before we had to leave. I went to talk to the staff at the counter. We are not regular customers here, and they should have reminded us that the place closes at 2:30 when we bought the tickets. If we had been told earlier that we could only play for half an hour, we would have gone to another swimming pool. The staff looked at our tickets and said, "You came at 1:39 p.m., and 50 minutes is enough for both of you." But do they think we should jump into the pool right after buying the tickets? Don't we need time to change clothes? Anyway, this experience was very bad for my daughter and me. The staff at the counter didn't remind us that the pool was closing soon when we bought the tickets, and afterwards, they didn't give any explanation for their negligence.

DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE FOR LESSONS. I have been coming here since 2018 and the place has become progressively worse. The good teachers disappear and you are left with the rejects. Squashing too many students into the one area. They are after one thing and one thing only. Your money. It is never clean and the cubical situation is ridiculous. And the staff do not help. Spend your money elsewhere.

Kids swim teachers are really lovely, although I’m not certain there is a lot of progression through the swim term, each class much the same as the last so no real progress being made but they are great fun and good for water confidence. Only issue would be the changing rooms, they are old which is fine but the tiles that have fallen off the walls remain on the floor, one in one of the bathrooms has been on the floor for the past two weeks now, making me wonder how often it is cleaned in there.

Swimming lessons - There is only one Teacher who was supper funny, playing with kids and make their lessons the best experience. Everyone will know who he is as all parents were praying to get him. I spoke with others and noone was satisfied as kids were running away and crying all the time. Teachers were so not interested, no smile, like a robots but dying ones as there was no energy.. very boring lessons, I would run away from there. I took my child from there and now when hes going to another pool hes different child, he cant wait for his swimming lessons.

I booked Aura De Paul as I couldn't get a space in my usual pool and didn't want to miss out on my daily swim. The building is nice and bright with a family feel to it. The staff are very welcoming. Unfortunately, the water is just not deep enough which is a massive drawback. The lanes are also quite narrow, you couldn't have more than two people at any given time. The changing rooms are huge but there aren't enough of them. There were a few disgruntled people who had no place to change. All in all, it's a very relaxing place, with music in the background. I would recommend it and I would probably go back.

Nice facilities, but they are clearly in breach of the National Payments Strategy 2025 which states that all government bodies which are public facing must accept cash as a means of payment by law. They still proudly display their “we are cashless” poster at reception. Please fix this asap. It’s unfair on the elderly in particular, who tend to still operate with cash.

Really poor and disappointing. Facilities seemed a lot better online in comparison to what they actually were. Lines really long for rides. No family rides/anything for kids who were too big/old for the pirate ship, but under 110cm. Limited showering facilities and cubicles a squeeze! Unclean - lots of green along walls and on top of play area in pirate ship. Generally a very disappointing experience having spend nearly €100 for the family.

Great day out! Pity the slides weren't all running, and they gone a stupid system in place for the one slide, which consists of you waiting in line for a tube ring to go down, not enough unfortunately, one slide was out of order the dark hole slide supposed to be the best one, only 3 slides so had to go down the one only a few times, next time I go maybe it will be fixed, other than that staff great, cept the whistle gang 😂 just go you will understand, changing rooms and toilets are fine and plenty of cleaners around which was good to see, over all I will return definitely, we went to aqua zone not the other centre. Cheap, and a really fun day out, went with my partner and her 7 year old 🙌😁

Pool is great. However, mostly available in 25m format. Changing rooms could be better. Showers are disgusting, they hurt both my eyes and my nose. They has to be addressed now!

Terrific amenity for the whole family to enjoy with slides and water features for tots to teens. I would advise getting there early as it tends to get very busy and noisy, with long queue for the different slides.

Took the kids to Auuazone, it was excellent. Clean family area, loads of lifeguards on duty. 3 fun slides, inflatable rings on the lazy

I would suggest it's over priced for young families. It's also has like a fungus on steps in common areas. Some of the equipment is broken. It needs some tlc as it could be really great place.

The pool is just 14m. I didn't try the classes (yet) but they have many of them. Prices -eg €204 for 3 months including joining fee. Location is slap bang in the city centre. Also has a sauna and jacuzzi. The bikes are amongst my favourites -they have built-in screens. The upper floor is lovely as it lets in the natural light. Flexible membership options. Overall, worth an 8+.

Iveagh Gym is a fantastic spot in Dublin with an excellent location. It has everything you need — sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi — all at affordable prices, with even better annual rates for students. The atmosphere is always respectful and welcoming, which makes training here a really positive experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality facilities at a fair price.

I would say half good, and half “have to improve”. Usually quite, almost never packed. Opening hour are not the best, but suits most of people. The worst part: only one place to get water, at reception in the main floor. Generally I like the place.

Great gym, great people Iveagh Fitness Club is a fantastic place to work out. The location is super central, so it’s easy to get to, and the membership prices are very reasonable for what you get. The team here is brilliant—friendly, supportive, and always happy to help, whether you need advice on equipment or just a bit of encouragement. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it never feels intimidating. With good facilities, plenty of space, and such a helpful staff, it’s a gym you actually look forward to coming back to.

Great location. The machines are new. There is a large studio for the classes. By the way, the yoga class is my favourite; we have the best teacher ever. It’s a reasonable price for all they have (including swimming pool, dry sauna, steam room, spinning room).

There is no proper air conditioning, so working out during summer is unbearable. The changing rooms are mouldy and smelly, and everything could use some deep cleaning. The jacuzzi is ok at least.

€20 guest pass Sauna broke Steam room little or no steam Jacuzzi filthy No cold shower No water facilities for drinking €90 a month must be mad same price as the Westwood I know where I'm joining

It's very difficult to make proper use of both the swimming pool and the gym. The gym is almost always overcrowded, with people occupying every corner of the space—even stairways leading to the changing rooms—to perform exercises. You can’t help but wonder why some of them don’t do these workouts at home. It really feels like far too many memberships were issued for such a small facility. The swimming pool is even more problematic. It's rarely available for general use, as it's often reserved for swimming schools or children's lessons. And even when lanes are technically free, there are often individuals doing stationary exercises in the swimming lanes, disrupting anyone trying to actually swim. Another issue is reliability. If you're trying to squeeze in a short workout, say early in the morning, there's a risk the gym won’t open on time—forcing you to just give up and leave. On a positive note, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, that alone doesn’t make up for the overall lack of access and overcrowding.

The place is very dirty, especially the cubicles next to the swimming pool and the downstairs bathroom. The swimming pool is always overcrowded, it's not an enjoyable experience at all. The free swimming sessions are always only 3 lanes, crammed, because the other 3 are occupied by swimming classes. The swimming classes are a bit ridiculous. Even in the advanced classes, the teaching is very basic, no challenges and they only focus on 2 styles, back stroke and front crawl. And if you want to have private swimming lessons you have a year of waiting list. There is a need of a bigger swimming pool, I get it. But at the same time, you should improve the level of adult swimming classes and at least have a day or two when people can enjoy a swimming without bashing against each others.

Swan Leisure is a great gym with excellent facilities and a really friendly atmosphere. The equipment is well-maintained, the swimming pool is always clean with heat control water and height adjustable floor. There’s a good mix of classes for all fitness levels, including Barre pilates, yoga, zumba, and more. The trainers are knowledgeable and always happy to help. The staff are super helpful, and the overall vibe is very welcoming. Being a membership holder I visit the place daily and I could confidently say it’s definitely a solid choice if you’re looking for a good gym in Dublin!

I’ve been going to the pool at Swan Leisure for years, I but only just started doing fitness classes there (which are 7 days a week!). I absolutely love every single one that I’ve tried. The aquatic with Borja is so much fun and a great workout, the women’s strength class with Nuri, and the yoga with Hyegeun… all the classes are fun, varied and a great workout. The staff are so friendly too. I highly recommend the Swan center and I will miss it when I leave Rathmines.

I trained with Diana for 2 months and she was fantastic. Super supportive and knowledgeable. Totally worth the investment, highly recommend!

EDIT after owners comment and after the 'refurbish': Basic gym with a sometimes 25m swimming pool. The gym has a set of everything, but for instance just 1 set of weights of each size, so if someone is using them, then you have to wait. Also, space is extremely tight and machines are too old. They """refurbished""" 2 weeks ago, which means that they added 10 new treadmill machines and 2 bicycles. Terrible job. Now there is less space for weights and the 2 bicycles have the electric sockets on the floor, beside them, so it won't be long until some sweating goes in. Still not enough mirrors, old and ripped machines... Check the photos to see it by yourself. They have around 4 hours per day of 25 metres (over the weekends is less hours) pool and the rest of the time is basically for kids and leisure. There is a wall that elevates and then it divides the pool in 2. The facilities are basic and they don't provide shampoo, towels or anything. Do not expect any of that. The sauna is good enough.

Review for Jack McDonnell – Swan Leisure, Rathmines I want to give a well-deserved shoutout to Jack McDonnell at Swan Leisure in Rathmines. He is the only staff member who consistently greets me and takes the time to acknowledge me while I’m working out. His attentiveness and professionalism make a real difference in my gym experience. Jack’s knowledge of fitness and training is exceptional, and he communicates in a way that is both respectful and highly effective. He genuinely cares about helping people improve, offering valuable advice and guidance with patience and professionalism. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for expert support in their fitness journey. His dedication to his work is evident, and he surely deserves a raise in recognition of his professionalism and commitment. Swan Leisure is lucky to have him! Thanks Ajay kumar

Small 25m pool with old-fashioned facilities and limited access hours

The staff is friendly. The is no hair drier, no soap. The pool is ok, but no designated swim lanes, so if you are an adult dropping for a casual swim you will be swimming across watching out for floating toddlers and kids of all ages. It's a family friendly place. The changing area would do with a renovation because it looks filthy.

Great facility for the community for swimming lessons or just a free swim.

Spotless and very well managed.

Great swimming lessons for children

Went there with my two kids , This is astronomical! My child slipped and fell into the pool without his armbands and nearly drowned and staff were not there to help !!! When he got out safely we went straight home to see that he had a wart on his toe and we were very disappointed that the floors were obviously not clean! He has horrible flashbacks to what happened and is attending therapy weekly . But anyways very good place definitely recommend!! Best swimming pool in dublin 🙌🏻

Our home pool. Water quality is great. Air Quality is Great. Bright and airy pool means it's great to train in. Atmosphere is fresh, staff helpful and very good teachers. Facilities always being improved. Clean & Warm.

Beautiful swimming pool with very friendly staff and big spacious changing rooms. Public swimming times. Adults and children's swimming lessons

Ya it was good and clear

Love the aqua class with Eleanor

The staff were amazing in coaching my son into the pool. The facilities are spot on, and there's a really nice vibe.

The pool is nice for practicing. The staff and the instructor are very friendly and responsive. Its ideally located, close to my place, have ample parking spaces.

I was there today. I enjoyed my swim but I feel like there were too many people In each lane at once. That was the only bad thing otherwise it was a good visit :)

I've taken my 10yr old daughter to this pool several times thus summer so far. Its great value especially for a 90 minute session.

Previous review deleted (along with others saying the same thing) so I’ll put it up again. The pool is so filthy that I had to take my child out of it after a few minutes. I’d say there are canals in Ireland that are cleaner.

Amazing experience, great facilities with very professional, courteous and friendly staff ! 🙂

Great astro pitches

Wonderful swimming pool with conscious and experienced coaches. My son loving to be here.

Lovely staff and nice pool for a family swim on Sundays, always worth a visit

Great facilities. I wish you had some classes for babies

Decent equipment for a community gym, relatively quiet for the most part.

Nice place an not crowded at the time I was there withe my little girl. .safe an well maintained. Nice guys looking after everyone.

Please do not go here unless you want a bacterial infection ! I went here yesterday for a swim expecting it to be great. We booked the 12 o clock time and arrived at 11.30 was told couldn’t go in until 11.45. We got in to the changing rooms- lockers were manky, room reeked of pee and poo and extremely hot and humid. Got into pool and the amount of kids pissing everywhere was disgusting. Noticed mould and algae throughout the lazy river and pool tried to ignore it and have a good time but the pool was actually filthy. Poop floating around waters, the mould, horrible smell and water was cloudy. Eventually I got out of the pool and headed to try out a slide. Massive queues. Slides were good but the queues weren’t and I can’t imagine how dirty the slides must’ve been. Went back to the changing rooms to shower to be met with more piss and poop in the showers and room . Me and my 3 friends all woke up w bacterial infections today. Not worth it

Disappointing start as the slides were not working when we arrived. This was sorted soon after and they were good fun. The queues went quick enough. Other than the slides, the lazy river was tame. The wave pool went on usually when we were on a queue. When we did make the wave pool the wave experience was short. Plenty on lifeguards on duty. Was surprised with the place it self. Needs updating. It's grubby in places. Rusty fences and vents. Peeled and faded signs and artwork. The end of the slides could do with a scrub. Some gum stuck to the walls in the dressing room. Dressing room floors could do with a deep clean. Fairly priced at €61 for family of 4.

Clean changing facilities big enough for families. Staff were friendly and helpful and the interacted well with children. Not overcrowded. Great fun activity. I would highly recommend and will definitely return.

The pool was good however cleanliness wasn't very good throughout. Algae scum lines and plasters stuck on walls in the lazy river. They didnt have enough rings for one of the slides. The staff were good with my children and lifeguards were attentive. With some deep cleaning it would be very good. But it us a bit expensive

Nice swimming pools with lots to do for the kids. However I do not recommend it. Tickets are expensive, time is limited to just 2 hours, and then there are massive queues for the slides (20, 30, sometimes 40 minutes). With the time being limited that means you can use the slides about 3 times before it's time to leave. It is not enjoyable to spend so much time queuing.

Used to like going with my kids but won’t be returning again after our visit this week. One of the slides was out of action resulting in massive queues for the other 2 . 20 to 30 minutes and considering you only have 2 hours it’s just ridiculous. Totally took the good from the day. The place was in my opinion way to packed for the size of it you could not put your arms out at anytime without bumping into another person. At no time could we get a seat at the jacuzzi so after an hour and a bit of going around the lazy river and wave machine we packed our day up. Just to mention they could really do with cleaning the pool up lots of black mould and stuff floating in the water. Not what you would expect and makes you feel a bit grubby. Kids disappointed and me frustrated after paying in plus travel. Emailed manager 4 days ago to complain got no response tells you all you need to know about how they appreciate paying customers. Spend your money elsewhere

⭐️⭐️ 2/5 – Disappointing Experience, Not Great Value for Money Visited AquaZone recently with four children and left feeling quite underwhelmed. The facilities were clean, which is the one positive I can highlight, but overall the experience didn’t justify the €78.50 price tag for a two-hour slot for one adult and four children. The green slide was unexpectedly uncomfortable—every time my back hit the joins between the slide sections, it was painful. Not something you expect from a family-friendly attraction. The biggest letdown, though, was the Master Blaster slide. There were only five inflatables in use, and the staff were extremely slow in releasing the next person, even when it was clearly visible on the camera that the previous rider had finished. A huge chunk of our two-hour slot was wasted queuing here. I raised the issue with the lifeguard on duty, who told me to go to reception—despite the fact I was in swimming clothes. Staff generally seemed disinterested, which suggests there may be deeper issues at play. All in all, not worth the money or the hassle. I wouldn’t be in a rush back.

The National Aquatic Centre is an outstanding facility in Dublin 15. The gym is exceptionally well-equipped and always spotless. The outdoor facilities are fantastic, offering scenic walking routes throughout the campus. There’s also some great outdoor training equipment, making it a perfect spot for both fitness and relaxation.

One of the best indoor sports arena facilities in Ireland. Easy to book, easy to cancel. Plenty car park spaces. Unlike many others, there is water dispensers. Lighting in the badminton courts is much better than other, the court have proper rubber matts with only Badminton court markings. Good clean facilities. There is a nice small cafe there as well. Would be nice if there was a shoo to allow people to buy or rent stuff in case if someone has forgotten a racket or shuttles.

This is state of the art purpose build development. This is my daughters 3rd summer going back for summer camps. The summer camps are well organised and kids absolutely love it. The staff is doing fab job! Well done.

A fantastic amenity with approx 30 acres of indoor and outdoor sports facilities to suit most people's preferred sport.

Fabulous facility. We came here today for my daughters first gymnastics competition. Event was well organised and we got into the building quickly for the amount of people there were. Plenty of parking outside.

I went to see Jurassic Live. They should have advertised what age groups it was for Tickets also advertised in sterling. My 12 year old who loves Dinosaurs was very disappointed. We left after 30 mins. Pantomime show for kids aged 4-8. 👎🏻

Great place for a walk, run and jogging.

So when I was alot younger and living in Dublin. I got to use the ALSAA facilities on a regular basis playing hockey there, those were the days. I was there recently for my daughters basketball match. I stand to be corrected but it looks like it hasn't changed one bit. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. The place was very clean and nice temperature throughout the building. The only thing I would say it could do with a little updating but from the areas I visited it didn't look shabby just a bit tired. Was great to be back and brought back some fond memories.

Very nice centre for your wellness and fitness. Efficient gym with needed facilities. Good layout of different activities. Nice pool area. Healthy space for squash, basketball, badminton etc. Very nice and friendly staff...

ALSAA (Aer Lingus Social and Athletic Association) Sports Centre, located just beside Dublin Airport, is a well-established and versatile sports facility that caters to a wide range of athletic and recreational needs. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a casual gym-goer, or someone looking for team sports and leisure activities, ALSAA provides a welcoming and functional environment. The gym is spacious and adequately equipped with a good variety of cardio machines, resistance training equipment, and free weights. While it may not be as modern as some high-end commercial gyms, it offers everything you need for a solid workout. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, attracting a diverse crowd of members, from young adults to older fitness enthusiasts. One of ALSAA’s standout features is its impressive range of sports facilities. It boasts both indoor and outdoor amenities including squash courts, badminton courts, an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, football pitches, and a running track. The indoor pool is a big plus for swimmers and families alike, kept clean and well-maintained. There are also sauna and steam room facilities, adding a recovery and wellness aspect to your visit. The centre is home to multiple sports clubs and leagues, making it a hub for team sports and community events. Whether it’s 5-a-side football, table tennis, or martial arts classes, there are always activities and group sessions happening. For those interested in racquet sports, the squash and tennis courts are a great feature rarely found in one place these days. Staff at ALSAA are generally courteous and helpful. The centre also offers various fitness classes, although the schedule can sometimes be limited compared to larger gyms. Parking is plentiful and free, which is a rare bonus in Dublin, and its proximity to the airport makes it a convenient stop for airline staff and locals alike. While some areas of the facility could benefit from refurbishment to match modern fitness centre aesthetics, the value for money is excellent. Membership prices are reasonable considering the range of amenities offered. In summary, ALSAA Sports Centre is a solid choice for anyone looking for a well-rounded, community-focused sports facility. It’s not the flashiest gym in Dublin, but it offers a reliable, friendly, and well-equipped space for fitness, sports, and social activities under one roof.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I've had a consistently great experience at ALSAA. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and offer a wide variety of options—from the gym and swimming pool to courts for badminton, squash, and more. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and professional. It's a great place to train, relax, or even just enjoy a coffee after a session. Parking is easy, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it caters to all fitness levels. Highly recommended whether you're a regular athlete or just looking to stay active in a positive environment.

Absolutely love this gym! The facilities are top-notch – the 8m pool is always clean and perfect for a lazy paddle, the sauna is relaxing and well-maintained, and the Jacuzzi is the ultimate post-workout treat. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the entire environment is motivating and welcoming. Whether I'm doing cardio, lifting, or just unwinding in the spa area, I always leave feeling great. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a full-service fitness experience that goes beyond just the basics. This place truly supports both physical fitness and relaxation. They also have a 25m pool separate to the main complex but I've yet to visit. Very good value to boot!

Amazing place with lot of space for parking, been to this place for quite a few times. Lot of open space for organising events, how ever during when sun 🌞 is out. I have seen a good cafeteria and social area also in the main arena, how ever I am yet to explore that since most of the times I was in open grounds with the events

Front Staff are very friendly. As a member they are always accommodating in providing facilities. Facilities are fantastic. Minus one star on the upper management they don’t invest enough in the palace parts of Alssa are badly in need of updating.

Dear Team, I would like to express my concern regarding the volume of the sound system in the gym. It is often excessively loud, which can be uncomfortable for many members. The majority of people use headphones, making such a high volume unnecessary. Additionally, the atmosphere feels more like a nightclub rather than a gym, which can negatively impact the workout experience. I believe adjusting the volume to a more reasonable level would create a more balanced and enjoyable environment for everyone. I appreciate your attention.

Crowded gym. The pool is fine. Needs more cleaning. Swimming Lesions are fantastic. They are really good trainers who understand our fear and boost our confidence to swim.

Hi Markievicz Leisure Centre Team, I woke up early this morning 26th July and got ready to head to the gym, only to find out it was closed for maintenance. Unfortunately, there was no prior notice or communication about this, which was incredibly frustrating. As a paying member, I expect to be informed of closures or schedule changes in advance. You have all my contact information from the registration process—email, phone number, etc.—yet there was no message, email, or call to let members know. This lack of communication is disappointing and makes me question the reliability of your service. I’m now seriously considering switching to another gym, even at a higher cost, simply for better customer service and communication. Please take this feedback seriously—it’s not difficult to keep your members informed, and doing so would make a big difference. Regards, Victor

Great gym with a full pool, great sauna and steam room and a room for classes. Everything you could need in a gym and only €34 a month! Amazing value for money

You need to bring your own locks for the lockers. Nice pool and sauna, staff were very helpful

Uncrowded gym with decent price right in the centre of Dublin. Machines are a bit dated but free weights are plentiful. Good sized pool, although can be busy. Sauna is great, plenty warm. No water allowed on the stove but if none else is in there should be no issue throwing your own. You will need your own lock for the lockers. Although they can also be bought from a vending machine there. No signing up or induction required. Just pay your money at the reception and good to go.

Decent service from staff and a range of machines and free weights but the gym was very messy and equipment outdated and rusty

It’s a small gym, but it has all the essentials.

Great gym and pool sound staff , love going up there every day to destress ! And most of all the classes are always on and lost 10 stone from them

Brilliant facility New poolside showers are great However well kept Staff approachable and friendly Always fairly clean ,actually cleaner than pool in Westmanstown ,which is pretty good considering the footfall Today there seemed to be a lot of other peoples hair in the cubicle I was using !!

Such a perfect gym, pool,sauna,sports pitches/hall,steam room 100 percent recommended 👌

Excellent experience. Staff on reception were helpful, pool was lovely for swimming and although the steam was out of order (hence 4*), the sauna was good if a bit crowded.

Great swimming pool for a family swim with excellent family changing pods. Multiple size lockers are great but you will need a €1 coin (which is returned) to use. They always let my special needs son with Autism go in for no charge and he loves it there.

Not a pleasant experience. The gym has limited space and equipment, with a significant presence of elderly members due to its affordable membership for them. Machines often malfunction and lack parts, posing potential safety concerns. The changing rooms are not well-maintained, and encounters with other members can be uncomfortable. It may not be the ideal fitness environment for those seeking a more modern and hygienic facility. Consider exploring other gyms in the area for a better fitness experience.

Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Club’s swimming lessons have made some improvements. The waitlist issue has eased a bit, and feedback on children’s progress is now provided periodically via email—a helpful addition. However, cleanliness in the dressing areas is a significant issue. The state of these facilities is poor, with frequent unpleasant odors and noticeable dirtiness. This has become a real concern, especially in a place focused on health and well-being. Suggestions for Improvement: 1. Maintain regular cleaning in dressing areas to ensure a sanitary environment. 2. Monitor hygiene throughout the term, as this is fundamental for an enjoyable experience for children and parents alike. Despite these concerns, the swimming lessons themselves have seen some progress. But at €210 per term, there’s a clear expectation that the facilities match the program’s quality.

I only saw the gym, which is clean and very functional. The toilets are a bit dated, but clean. Seems to be well run and very much used by the whole community, from young to old.

Lovely cheapish pint of Guinness. Food is excellent in puck burger, which is just outside but can be ordered in the bar. Pool is good, paddle courts and 6 a side football pitches are great. Too many tvs in the bar is my only major gripe

Had a very disappointing encounter today with the receptionist by the name of Trish… I encountered three teenagers looking to purchase a gym membership, they were not rude or cheeky they were mannerly and respectful towards her however they were responded with nothing but rudeness, rolling her eyes and by her tone she seemed almost agonised to be helping them, not even giving them the chance to say whether they were members or not and jumping straight to the negatives and trying to accuse them of not being of age to attend the gym when they quite clearly were…. Thankfully a different woman by the name of ciara stepped in and took matters into her own hands to help the teens and things were sorted swiftly and mannerly. This seriously needs to be sorted out not my first bad encounter with her or seeing her with other people. Teenagers could be doing a lot worse nowadays than looking for a trip to the gym… I’ve been a member of the pslc for years and was appalled by this situation and Trish’s attitude in general. Please sort this out asap…

Disappointed and I feel not inclusive to the local community. Swimming pool Hoist not in working order for nearly 2 years now and been told on multiple occasions that it is going to be fixed. Had previously used this with patients I work with who are wheelchair users and had found it therapeutic. So can only use the pool with patients who are mobile enough to walk into the pool. Also you can only use the pool at certain times and for a max of 40 minutes and not allowed to use the sauna either as non members. The cost was also expensive, when carers where charge also, at 36 euro compare to the 9 euro we would have spent if we had gone to ballymum leisure centre where the staff are extremely kind and friendly, use of hoist and sauna included. Back to Ballymum we shall go!

As a paying member of this club, I once hastily parked in what I thought was a parking spot. Despite the ambiguity, with a small pedestrian zebra crossing leading to the car park, there was no clear continuation for this crossing. Immediately after parking, an individual, potentially affiliated with the club or known to the staff, confronted me, attempting to school me on using a space not designated for parking. Despite my efforts to keep the situation calm, another acquaintance of theirs, claiming to be a staff member, threatened to involve security. This occurred in the presence of my wife and daughter. It's disheartening, and I believe more attention and consideration should be given to the paying members of this community. A more courteous approach would have been more appreciated. This location is otherwise delightful for various sports activities. They boast an excellent gym and a remarkable heated pool. It's wonderful that they provide swimming lessons for children. Although I haven't had the chance to try out the tennis courts yet, I'm confident they are fantastic. Moreover, they have a restaurant on the first floor with an open terrace. The affordability of their pizzas and beers is noteworthy.

My kids have done lots of activities here over the years. It is a good local facility. There are lots of choices of activities in the various rooms. As well as the pool and main hall. It is always kept clean. The bar / cafe is pleasant enough and a handy space to wait in or do some work in while. The park beside it is also good for a stroll. Parking can be a bit messy. They redid the paint for the carpark and then continued to block their own one way system.

Changing rooms and toilets need to be redone at this stage never a locker with a lock available and showers always freezing, needs to be some staff on in the evening to watch the pool area as it's mayhem with teenagers and families doing as the please in the pool. Staff are brilliant, classes are good, gym floor is ok when machines are working, but definitely a maintenance plan needs to be put in place from the General Manager it's not fair for the gym staff to have to work like this, it's out of their control what needs to be done.

Scruffy dirty small gym, alot of equipment in terrible working order, most lockers not working there broken ,showers too hot or cold , horrible drafts and moss basically growing off the walls needs to relocate or renovate quickfast. From how the place looks and operates it seems nobody is working hard there to keep the place in decent condition for paying members.

Absolute joke off a company member since 2018 they cancelled my 40 euro a month membership and resigned me on 54 a month stating I never updated my bank details but then still used same bank details idiots....swimming pool I've seen chicken nuggets baby nappies floating never cleaned mould in steam room jacuzzi always broken never wrote review about anything Absolute joke they are

Changing rooms and facilities are disgusting. Toilets never cleaned on days I’ve been there. Once reported a broken light in one of the toilets. Instead of fixing it they just put it out of order and never repaired it. Other toilet has a broken door which was never replaced. Bins never emptied. Seems like maintenance and hygiene for the club are not a priority.

★☆☆☆☆ If I could give zero stars, I would. Club Vite in Lifey Valley is an absolute disgrace. My daughter opened an account on the 5th of May and was charged €48 — only to be told on the 16th that she had to pay again for a full month. At that point, the account had only been active for 10 days! We refused to pay again and decided to cancelled the account by phone. They charged her another €46 on the 22nd of May, claiming it was a “cancellation fee” for not giving 30 days’ notice- which we accepted. The cherry on top? She went in on the 28th of May to use the gym (which she was still apparently paying for), and they told her the QR code didn’t work. If she wanted to use the gym for the rest of the month — which she already paid for — she’d need to pay another €10! Total scam. In the end, she paid for nearly two months and couldn’t even use the gym for a month. I called to sort it out and the staff were rude, clueless, and talked utter nonsense about club policy??? This place is a joke and a complete rip-off. Be warned — they’ll take your money and give you nothing in return.

Disappointing Experience After 8 Years of Loyalty I had been a member for 8 years, not because it’s a great gym, but because it was convenient. The facilities have always been subpar: rundown equipment, poor maintenance, and cleanliness that leaves much to be desired. Many machines are broken, rusty, or look like they're part of a science experiment. I recently moved away and had to stop my membership due to the commute. While I was back in the area, I asked if I could purchase a simple day pass just to get a quick cardio session in. I was told I could only do so if I came in with a current member, or alternatively, buy a pack of 10 day passes for €90. Neither option made sense for a one-off visit. The staff were standoffish and unhelpful, which unfortunately reflects my overall experience with this gym over the years. It’s a shame that even basic customer service is lacking after years of loyalty.

Went to join gym had look around. Receptionist Hayley was lovely. They had a sign apologies while maintenance was going on. Gym was ok some of the equipment needed repairing or replacing but otherwise all was OK. Pool looks nice and it definitely suits me. I joined and happy 😊

I enjoy going swimming 3 times a week. The people I meet are great, We always have good conversations. The staff are magnificent and very supportive to anyone who needs advice and instructions.

A 2 year olds bir6wss ruined because of a second party in the same space. It wasn't explained at the time of booking. The bigger kids were on the baby bouncy castle. We had to leave within 5 mins. All the small children were devastated

I just found this jem or a centre today the staff are so friendly and inviting .. my first ever time going along to a exercise class there and I gotta .say it was really good the instructor was great energy good segments alertnating from weights, stretches ,squats , jogging , foot work and ground exercises, l feel fitter already 🤸🏃⛹️🤾🏋️🧎

This place hasn't changed much since I was a kid going there, I now take my own children there for swimming lessons. Staff are great, gym is fine, could do with an upgrade. The changing rooms recently got a fresh coat of paint. Perhaps the showers could do with an upgrade, price is good 👍

Nice place. There is a swimming pool. We had a competition for Irish Dancing 💃 here.

Great local amenity. I learned to swim here many years ago. They have maintained to pool and the whole complex to a good standard. The changing rooms are always clean. The staff friendly. I also play canoe polo here. It is very good that we can train and have an indoor league in the Tallaght Sports Complex. It is convenient for a lot of the teams that are travelling, as it is not too far from the m50.

The complex itself is brilliant, but I can't explain how fabulous the Easter/Summer camps are. Stephanie and her leaders are brilliant, especially Joseph. The camp is the last thing my kids talk about going to bed and the first thing they talk about when they wake up. Highly recommend them.

This gym is amazing—I would recommend it to everyone! The environment is great, and the classes are fantastic. I love taking sessions with Jie—she’s so nice, and I truly appreciate her energy and vibe. One of my favorite classes is Box Fit—it’s a great way to release stress and makes me feel amazing. I always make sure to book that class! Oana’s classes are extremely nice, and she’s really lovely too—don’t forget to book her sessions! Andrei and Oana gave me some amazing advices, which made me feel great. I would give 10 stars if I could, but I can only give 5 here!

Nice gym and the staffs are great, always polite and helpful but I wish I could get fit dance class as an option for cardio, is a really good way to release stress. I'm happy they are improving the equipments too :)

Disappointing experience After being a member for few years and over a year and not using the gym during this time for personal condition, I finally decided to cancel. Even though I hadn’t used the facilities since a year . I was still required to give a 2-month paid notice, which feels more like a money-grabbing policy than something considerate of members' real situations. When I spoke to the owner in person, he compared the gym to a Netflix subscription – which says a lot about how they view their customers: not as people, but as numbers on a spreadsheet. There was zero effort to understand or support me as a long-term member. Just a cold transaction... Beyond that, there are several issues with the gym itself: Very limited weekend hours wich is not practical. The gym is overpriced for what it offers: limited space, basic equipment, and no added value compared to more affordable options. They seem to accept unlimited subscriptions, packing in as many people as possible without considering member comfort, this can be seen especially during peak times. This gym is clearly more focused on maximising profit than building a real fitness community.

I've been at this gym for 4 month now and it is fantastic. The staff are the nicest people ever. Super supportive and fun. Clientele are friendly. Overall, it's a lovely environment to work out in. Thanks to Andrei for all the support 🤩

Glad to have chosen this gym. The atmosphere is very positive between the customers and the trainers are always kind and helpful. Thank you Oana for your time and help, and getting me started on my journey to develop myself!

Gym itself isn’t terrible though a little small but the customer service is bad. When you want to cancel your membership you have to pay for 2 months after you cancel, which is already ridiculous. But they also don’t respond to emails and would rather continue to charge you after you ask to cancel. Even after agreeing to cancel they continue to charge after the two months are up. Unacceptable

First of all, special thanks to Oana! Professional, beautiful young lady who brought me back to life. Her energy and care for each person is not seen often in today's world. Fantastic place, I really recommend from bottom of my heart! Such a friendly, supportive environment. Keep up the good work 👏 Love, V! ♡

I like this pool a lot ...and the facility in general. However on Thursday 2nd January at about 11.40am ... just a week ago ... I noticed 3 or 4 male lifeguards (in yellow) messing by the side of the pool. They were paying no attention to the swimmers. Suddenly one of the lifeguards was pushed into the pool fully clothed by the group he was with. He tried to get out and was pushed in again. This happened twice more and eventually he got out of the pool. He was given a towel a few minutes later. They then seemed to go off duty. I was in the recreational area of the pool at the time (1.3m) and was making my way down to the end of the pool to exercise in the quieter end as the top end was very busy with small children jumping in with their parents. A very helpful female lifeguard spotted me moving down and the pool hanging in to the lane sepatator and advised that the pool was 2m deep at the other end so i returned to the top of the pool.. There were also several lanes taken up by classes at the far side of the pool and coaches were on duty there (in red). I don't think the above incident is very reassuring for swimmers and safety in general. It's not the first time I have noticed your lifeguards chatting and laughing beside the pool in groups of 3 or so ... you need to review the role of lifeguard and the emohasise the importance of safety in the pool.

They give penalty arbitrarily to the students like somebody with great power in hand and made me very uncomfortable. Especially a woman in light blue shirt at the reception desk. At about 3:30 pm my friend came and took out a card, and when reminded it was a wrong card, she said sorry and took out her own card. Then the lady took both cards and went to the computer and came back to say both cards were banned for two weeks, without a warning. I argued it was not fair for the two students because my friend had her own card , she was not trying to take advantage of them. She just happened to take out a wrong card that looked similar. They eventually cancelled the ban, but didn't admit they did wrong in the first place. It seems an apology would be too difficult for the staffs.. I have never seen so condescending staffs in whole Ireland.

The opening hours are not accurate. When I showed up at 5pm on Sunday for my swim I was told I should have read the fine print on their website and that the opening hours on google are not their responsibility. Despite the gym being opened till 6pm I was told that I could not use the pool which has a different opening time and closed at 5pm. On another date, a strange guy kept following me around the pool trying to talk to me as I was doing my laps. I reported it who staff did nothing. At a later date I was told that I should have known to ask for a duty manager and it was always open to me to make a report to the Gardai. Even when you pay extra for the nice changing rooms you have to pay extra for a lock for the locker. It’s a shame that such a nice facility is being ruined by poor communication, poor management and a failure to take responsibility for issues.

Great contemporary swimming facility with 50-meter lanes. Can get crowded during peak hours. Offers ample space for sauna, hot tub, and steam room. Overall, a thoroughly positive experience.

Excellent facility. One down side there are no naked swim lanes, classes or swim times. Otherwise it's fab. Oh and you can't bring your dog into the pool..for a swim..(even if its a therapy dog) or guide dog..which is somewhat shortsighted.

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.

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 :(

We just had a pool party here for my son's 11th birthday. It was fantastic, everyone had so much fun and it felt very safe and well supervised by the lifeguards & swim team. Highly recommend!

Great local pool. Great staff. Swimming pool and dressing room spotless clean and warm. Local street unfortunately is always full of dog poo and illegal dumping of household rubbish. Such shame that those living in the area treat their community with little respect

I had a wonderful experience at the pool! The water was absolutely perfect, and the ambient temperature was just right. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!

I never expected to visit Swimming pool early in the morning and not crowded, so it was very surprising and great at the same time. It’s a clean place, 3 lanes swimming pool but without block unfortunately. The price worth it

I grow up playin in here and its still there i live to take my babys qe lv d pool xx lv all u lifeguards #best

Clean and tidy and the staff was nice. Excellent facilities for swimming, It would be even better with more privacy in the showers.

Reasonably price to swim. Changing rooms and pool were spotless. Pool side lockers are very handy

Great location. Swimming lessons for children are very convenient. The teacher is nice, showers are clean, it is not too crowded and price is cheaper than others in the area. You can also have a picnic or just chill out on the grass in front of the building after your swim. I am only removing one star because the facilities could benefit from some refreshing. Happy to recommend.

Clean and with friendly staff but so warm. There's a sauna and steam room in the corners but you really don't need them! The pool is 20m long about 2.5m deep at one end and 1.3 at the other. Usually its divided into 3 generous lanes

Pool & Sauna is okay but showers are pretty bad. They also only allow 10 minutes after your session ends to clean up and leave, which basically leaves no time to have an actual shower. To top all of this off, it's 8 euro for a walk in, way over priced.

Lovely and quiet, nice, friendly staff. Showers are open to changing room so don’t bother using and wait till I get home.

My worst experience ever in a swimming pool/gym. I paid for two months of lessons but I was pushed to leave after the 1st month without a refund. They let people use the changing room for just 15 minutes, after that they lock the door of the pool. All of that, because they don't want to pay a receptionist for the time between lessons. Firstly, this is not SAFE. Secondly, as a normal person might understand, a girl with very long hair can't take a shower and dry her hair in 15 minutes. Normally staff tries to find a solution or at least is polite. But when I tried to make my point with the staff and tried not to be thrown out from the locker room, I've received just RUDENESS, open HOSTILITY and sarcasm. Staff stressed me out, making me lose PATIENCE and MONEY. Sincerely, I don't know how they can run a business in this way. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Quiet, cheap and friendly pool. Very warm and generous sized swim lanes in the AM. €5 swim before work. Could do with a lick of paint in the changing rooms and some proper functional lockers

This is a great place if you want to experience travelling in space and time back to the Soviet Union of 1980s. The main differences are that this one is not free and the changing room is smaller than what you would expect to see in USSR.

You get what you pay for. Gym equipment is very old and some things just don't work. The treadmills are great. The pool is big enough but very nice and warm. Changing room is a bit dirty. The opening hours are very bad. Opens at 6pm and closes at 9pm on weekdays and 12pm-6pm on weekends. If the gym equipment received an upgrade and the hours were increased, this is a great gym for €10 a month.

So after COVID as all the gym are being opened this October now according to Government Guidelines when Tullyvale Leisure centre is opening? It’s very important for our mental and physical health. I tried to reach the phone number no one picks up. Hopefully here the management will be replying saying when they have a plan. So many of us when we moved saw this plus to move here in the Tullyvale and we Deserve this service to open. Please inform us when?

Dirty and mouldy, the flush in the man toilet doesn't work well, full of brown stuff floating, no toalett paper. The water and the air temperature every second time is very cold, sometimes only ice cold water in showers, the management does not seem to care at all as they were notified many times.

Great for the kid's to Learn to swim, it's small but has everything you want as well as a little gym,changing rooms are very clean which is always good.

When will be the GYM open after COVID19 close down? It's still closed even Google shows it's open. Tried to call several times, but no answer.

Gym equipment needs up grading as most of it doesn't work however the pool is excellent.

Take my son here for swim lessons. Worm pool is a big bonus

I’ve been training with Josip for two years now, and I can confidently say he’s transformed not only my fitness but also my mindset. When we started, I struggled with pull-ups, but thanks to his expertise and guidance, I’ve made incredible progress. Josip is more than just a trainer—he’s a motivator who knows exactly how to support you on tough days and push you to reach the next level when you’re ready. His encouragement and personalized approach make every session rewarding. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about helping you achieve your goals, Josip is the perfect choice!👍💪

I’ve never been one of those people who loved going to the gym but Josip motivates me to keep working hard and makes the sessions enjoyable. Josip is very knowledgeable, gives variety to each session and explains the different exercises & why. I've been with Josip for over 6months and I have noticed that I have more energy after the sessions and starting to feel confident to go to the gym by myself. I've gotten more experience with exercises and my goals have become more focused. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

I was so embarrassed about how overweight and out of shape I’d become and honestly didn’t know how or where to even begin turning things around. Personal training with Josip has been life changing on so many levels. He is an attentive and engaging trainer with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. I felt very intimidated entering the gym environment for the first time in my life but training with Josip’s direction has helped me to overcome that and to understand that I have a place in the gym just as much as the elite athletes and weight-trainers that he also works with. I don’t feel self-conscious in the gym anymore and overcoming that hurdle was a huge turning point and one of the biggest benefits of embarking on personal training for me. I’m thrilled with my progress so far and achieving results and workouts that were unfathomable for me just weeks ago. I’m feeling stronger and fitter both physically and mentally after just a few short weeks and I never would have had the knowledge or confidence to get to this point without the professional help. I’m already doing exercises I thought it would have taken me months to work up to. I was hoping to find a trainer who would be mindful of how very unfit I’d become; I ended up finding a trainer who is not dwelling on my terrible fitness or making me feel awful and is instead showing me what is possible for even me to achieve. It’s really uplifting and motivating. I would highly recommend Josip as a trainer for all levels. The fitness and physiques of his elite clients speak for themselves, but for anyone like me who is stuck in a rut, wanting to change and feeling overwhelmed with where to start, the confidence, direction and knowledge you’ll gain from working with Josip is the best gift you could give to yourself to get back on the path to health and fitness. He is very skilled at identifying the individual needs, limits and motivations of his clients and the sessions honestly fly in with good humour too. I can’t believe the change I’m feeling and the shift in my attitude towards exercising! I highly recommend working with Josip no matter what your fitness levels and goals are. He is very conscious of your safety and welfare and a big thing for me was finding a trainer who was mindful of how vulnerable and undignified it feels for a very overweight, unfit newbie. Josip cultivates a confidence-inducing space for folk like me to learn to work out optimally without feeling judged or ashamed of their starting point. It really sets him apart as a trainer and motivator.

Josip has been my PT for over a year now and he has been fantastic in helping me with my workout and fitness goals. I was a complete beginner when I started and Josip developed a simple and effective routine to get me going. Over time he has changed my routines as I've gotten more experience with exercises and my goals have become more focused. Every session is a challenge but Josip makes it easy and understandable, which means I can see real progression and results. He's also very fun to work with which makes every gym session that bit easier! He's always available for advice and support if needed, so I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Josip is a great PT! He makes sure to meet his clients expectations while also being patient and giving great advices. I see a lot of improvement in my stamina and strength thanks to the training he provides! I cannot recommend more

I contacted Josip because I wanted to start a strength programme and I wanted someone to push me, coach me on form and set a challenging programme. After the free consultation, Josip had a full body plan designed to my current fitness, that we started with. I have been working over 2 months and have added weights, exercises and notice a big difference in posture. Josip pushes me, regularly revises the programme and I am also hitting some inch loss goals too. I have already recommended Josip to some friends because of his tailored approach.

I have trained with Josip for over 6 months now and I have been really impressed with his creativity, punctuality and consistency as a trainer. He has helped me immensely reaching my fitness goals with advice on both exercise regiment as well as nutrition. Would highly recommend him to anybody who is serious about improving their physical state.

Highly recommended! Don't hesitate! I just completed the Learn to Swim course with Huseyin and am progressing nicely through clear and easy understood instructions and even some homework assigned. I have signed up again to continue the great progress made and graduated the Beginner course and even after just 1 week completed I'm already getting better. Thank you, Huseyin, thank you Swim Camp

Fantastic and fun. Improved my swimming by a ton and a lot of help in small things that I wouldn't have figured out how to fix on my own. Highly recommend.

Really happy to give SwimCamp swimming lessons a very strong 5 stars. For the first time in my adult life I now understand the technique of swimming. The class sizes are small and the Coaches are really great at confidence and skill building by ensuring each individual student is comfortable with each element of technique before layering on another new element or drill.

I started the improver course at the start of March. I was totally amazed by how much I enjoyed the class and how fun it was. Even on a wet, dark evening the pool was inviting with an encouraging atmosphere. Chris, our instructor was excellent. I highly recommend these classes.

I've just finished my 2nd set of Adult beginners swimming classes with Aoife in SwimCamp and have achieved so much in a very short space of time, that I just had to give her this 2nd review. She has built my confidence up so much. I started out very nervous and convinced I'd never learn, from too many years "swallowing half the pool" every time I tried to swim. But last night I managed to swim 10 metres, while breathing properly, with no water swallowed. 10 metres may not seem much to good swimmers but to me its a nothing short of a miracle. I cannot recommend the teachers in SwimCamp enough!

Really enjoyed these swimming lessons. Instructors were extremely friendly and helpful. Beginners classes were focused on technique and drills and tailored to everyone's ability. Completely different to previous lessons ive done where I was just told to swim up and down the pool. Have already recommended swim camp to friends and family.

Have done multiple weeks of lessons with SwimCamp in both Dalkey and Belvedere and they've been brilliant. I've gone from being terrified of water to now being really confident. I've gotten to really love swimming. All trainers are super at what they do & I'm excited to continue to learn.

Do not recommend this place. Tried to go swimming there but nobody came and opened the door. Wasn't convenient at all and the opening hours aren't updated. Also they do not answer their phone.

Beautiful new pool a big improvement on the old pool pity it's going to be closing down

It was an alright pool the staff were ok

Nice place to attend aqua aerobics every week

Great swimming lessons fir the kids

Good
