    Looking at joining a new pool, anyone swim here? How do you find it? How busy it is early in the morning, round opening time?

    Great facility, its busy in the mornings from 6am to 8am with the uCD swim squad and different tri club sessions. You'd still get a good swim though, there are 8 lanes, lots of triathletes swim in groups there most mornings of the week.

    I'm there a few mornings a week around 6:30. Busy is 4 or 5 in a lane. Tue and Thurs seem quietest. Also been there wed after work and its never been that busy either.

    You are guaranteed at least 4 lanes at any time.
    It can get busy around 7 am but plenty of space in any given lane.
    Mon /Wed/Fri am is busier, Tue and Thu seems better, pm fine.
    Very clean facilities and non chlorine pool is a winner

    So went down this morning to try it out. A lot nicer than my usual pool. In the water for around 6.15 and it wasn't busy at all, pretty much had a lane to myself. Was getting busy when I was leaving around 7 but was still grand. Looks like I have a new pool to swim in from now on.
