    We took out little lad to the Swan Leisure Center yesterday. Pool was advertised as being heated but didn't feel like it to me.

    Does any one have any recommendations for a heated toddler swimming pool on the South side of Dublin that can be used pay as you swim?

    Heated swimming pools tend to be about 26-28 degrees, which I imagine the Swan is.

    Unheated pools in this country would be about 16 degrees.

    I think the Markievicz pool tends to be a bit warmer. http://www.dublincity.ie/RECREATIONANDCULTURE/SPORTSFACILITIES/LEISURECENTRES/LOCATIONS/MARKIEVICZ/Pages/MarkieviczLeisureCentre.aspx

    Phone the various pools and ask them what temperature the water is.

    If you check out Waterbabies they offer classes in pools of 30degrees - then you can ring the venues listed and see if they keep the temp the same outside of the classes?

    I got a little neoprene wetsuit from amazon for my 5month old, and in a pool yesterday that was cooler than normal he stayed nice and warm in it.

    Cheeverstown around by the Spawell have a heated therapy pool that is open to the public at set times. They let in a small number of parents and babies.

    +1 on Cheeverstown. It's only open to the public on the weekends. They let in max 25 people, and for 2 adults and a baby it it €11, I think €7 for 1 adult and a baby. Always lovely and warm. They have medical type trolleys as well, which are great for changing baby on.
