Did you manage to get an answer to when this is going to be opened? It definitely looks on track to be opened in October. Car park markings are in since the weekend so looking good!

Matt Le Tissue

Looking good for the end of October, or so I hear

Cool. Do you know if there was a website or anything mentioned in the literature?

I heard theres a swimming pool being opened.

Can anyone confirm?

Hammiepeters

Yes of course theres a pool. Have a look at the centre in Bray. Same builder/architect. It's going to be great so long as they can keep scumbags out.

I have no idea of them, I pretty much just pasted the email I got forwarded form them. When it meant talking about prices, it meant for clubs renting time in the sports hall anyway

Shoreline Leisure Bray rates (nicked from another thread):

Wicklow public pool rate for comparison:

Shoreline don't seem to be offering a lot of the options available in Wicklow, like Family Swim, pool-only annual membership and direct-debit. Hopefully they will add these.

Is this going to be like the one in Monkstown where you get something like 45 mins and then get turfed out.. or are you able to stay in the pool intill you've had a decent swim....?

GingerDave

Pay as you go swimming would work out at 1,185k if a family of four goes swimming ONCE a week!!!

€100 a month for swimming, thats a lot of money!!

Will there be a swimming only membership option that takes less out of the pocket? or is it the norm, take it or leave it?

well, in that case you'd take out the 995 family membership - but thats still very steep if you only want to swim. There has to be some sort of swim-only membership. In Wicklow this is 670 for a family of 4.

Mullie

Does seem very steep for a pay as you go swimming. Is that normal these days? I would have thought €5-6.

there is a flyer - saw one yesterday. First line on it says "25mm six-lane pool" - so not as big as people expected

What's this? A pool for ants? How are they supposed to swim if they can't fit inside the building!! It needs to be at least......... 3 times bigger!

sso

three times bigger than 25 mm is still only 7.5 centimeters long!!! I'd like to have a 25mm pool multiplied by 1000 myself! That said with budgetary cutbacks I wouldn't be surprised if they scaled down everything. "We gave you a swimming pool and now you want one 1000 times bigger - tighten your belts!"

:P
