We have a 25m swimming pool with two lanes available at all times. We have a children’s pool which has a temperature of 32°C, a suitable temperature for small children so they can enjoy their swimming experience.

Dunmanway Swimming Pool also has a hydrotherapy pool, the only one in West Cork. The hydrotherapy pool has a temperature of 33°C. The hydrotherapy pool is ideal for anyone who wishes to come and do some physio or just want to come and relax.

AQUA AEROBICS

Dunmanway Swimming Pool runs aqua aerobics twice a week on Wednesday & Thursday morning at 10am. For the autumn we will run aqua classes on one evening. Aqua is great fun and a great workout.

The benefits of aqua aerobics
• Water supports the body, putting less stress on your joints and muscles.
• Working out in water helps build strength. Fighting against the push of the water activates your muscles.
• Water pressure helps put less strain on the heart by moving blood around the body.
• The impact of gravity is less in the water, allowing a greater range of motion.
• Working out in water helps prevent overheating, helping you exercise for longer.
• And ... it’s fun! It is not often you can say that about a workout.
