Infants may enter the learner pool wearing aqua nappies and parents have a nursing room, yet no crèche, baby swim classes or clear baby-changing tables are listed, so convenience for babies remains only moderate.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for a relaxed baby swim, feeding breaks and using parent facilities without rushing.
Baby Splash at Pool:
Bring your baby into the shallow end wearing an Aqua swimming nappy (available at reception).
Tip: Adult holds baby at all times; schedule swims before nap time for a calm session.
Use the Nursing Mothers’ Room:
Private space for breastfeeding or expressing milk between activities.
Tip: Ask reception for the key on arrival to avoid waiting.
Try the Shallow Learner Area:
The pool’s shallow section suits infants learning to feel water safely.
Tip: Stay close to your baby and use a swim ring for extra support.
Visit midweek or during university term to avoid busy summer weekends.

We went for the Natural Stromgman tournament. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. They also had a nice cafe with a wide selection of fresh food. Great venue!

Every bathroom has mould around sinks etc. Hairs in all showers, no soap, no moisturiser, no spinner for swim trunks. Lack of hooks in chan...

Great sport complex and gym. It has a lot of training machines and weights/dumbbells, treadmills, etc. During the academic year, it could become very crowded in the mornings (before classes start) and after 5 pm (when classes end). Other issues are machines becoming out of order frequently and being repaired very slowly and not having some machines like chest fly, back fly or any decline benches.

Prices have increased from €10 to €12 for pay as you to use the pool. No problem with that if the pool area was well maintained but there are a number of issues that havent been catered for such as; hooks missing from cubicles, doors difficult to lock; no complimentary shampoo in shower and bathrooms/flooring is always filty; some lockers broken. Just lacks care and attention. Why haven't these is...
