    Shoot me down in flames or move this to another thread if its misplaced.

    My kids love swimming but the missus doesn't. I've been taking them to Monkstown pool because its got cubicles rather than changing rooms but lately I've been thinking it's got a bit grotty.
    Are there any others in the area that do this too? I don't want to spend a grand on membership just to go for a splash once a fortnight so I'm looking for pools that allow non-member/public swims.
    I'm gonna try Glenalbyn - used to go there myself but don't think they had cubes then.
    Any ideas?

    Glenalbyn is nice. The pool at Newpark Sports Centre (Newtownpark Ave) seems quite popular with families too. You can pay per session there. I think they have certain times for lane swims and family swims but if you call them I'm sure they'll send you out a timetable.

    yeah, newpark are family friendly, and have 2 sections in the changing rooms, each with half cubicles, which are better than no cubicle! (have 3 sides to them, but not many). not particularly fancy, but saves you having to go to a membership place...
