GRAIGUECULLEN SWIMMING POOL
We have been working hard behind the scenes to continue to make our pool a safe and welcoming environment. There are a few things you will need to be aware of when visiting our facility. You will not need to pre-book your pool time. Our dedicated staff will be on hand to answer any queries you may have but have a read of the following to help you along the way…
- Sauna and Steam Room available during any public session.
- We would advise people to arrive “beach ready” – have their togs already on under their clothes, where possible. This will lessen their time in the cubicle and more swimming time!
- Showers will be available for a quick rinse only, before and after your swim.
- Our timetable will beupdated every week and can be viewed on our Facebook page or pick up a copy at the pool.
- We do not have card payment facility at the moment
- Phones, cameras and recording devices are strictly prohibited at the pool, changing areas and viewing area.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone soon but if you are feeling unwell or are showing any symptoms of Covid-19 such as a high temperature, cough, breathing difficulties or generally feeling unwell please don’t visit us just yet, we will welcome you when you are better.

Yes, because Covid-19 is an enveloped virus, it is more sensitive to chlorination than other non-enveloped viruses. (World Health Organization, 2020: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/water-sanitation-hygiene-and-waste-management-for-the-covid-19–virus-interim-guidance).
It is recommended by our HSE Public Health Department that pool operators should use a free chlorine concentration of at least 1.5mg/l and our facility operates at between 1.5 – 2mg/l. (www.pwtag.org)
