Charlestown Outdoor Swimming Pool was built in 1968 and has served thousands of people over the years as a fun, safe and healthy swimming facility as well as a training ground for lifeguards and Irish Water Safety Swim Instructors.
In 2017, the pool underwent a major refurbishment that provided a heated and refinished pool basin and deck along with disabled access facilities. The pool is run by a voluntary committee who provide for open swimming along with Swimming Lessons and Water Safety Instruction.
Our 50th Anniversary celebration took place throughout the weekend of the 17-19 August, 2018. To mark this milestone, we held a Family BBQ Pool Party on the 19th, which was a fun filled day.
Part of the celebrations included a sponsored 50KM Swim Challenge to help raise funds for enhancements to the pool. Our fantastic swimmers could swim 1 width, 10 lengths or more, with or without armbands. Every participants’ distance was recorded to help us smash this challenge. It was a great way to encourage everyone to swim.
All sponsorship and donations will be used to improve Charlestown Swimming Pool through these additional phases of development that are required.
