Dublin

Ireland’s vibrant capital, offers a diverse array of outdoor swimming Dublin experiences for both locals and visitors. From the invigorating waters of the Irish Sea to serene inland lakes and well-maintained public pools, Dublin caters to all types of swimmers.

Along the coastline, you’ll find popular spots like Sandycove, home to the famous Forty Foot, a year-round swimming location with a rich history. The charming seaside suburbs of Dalkey, Killiney, and Howth provide picturesque beaches and coves perfect for a refreshing dip.

For those who prefer freshwater swimming, the River Liffey, which runs through the heart of the city, hosts annual swimming events. Additionally, nearby lakes such as Lough Dan in the Wicklow Mountains offer a tranquil escape for open water enthusiasts.

Dublin also boasts several excellent public swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor, catering to lap swimmers, families, and those seeking aquatic fitness classes.
