Flexible Swimming pool for DLRCC

Photo by Jason Mitrione on Unsplash

Provide a swimming pool that can be accessed by the whole community; A pool with an adjustable floor to accommodate different depths for different activities; Swimming lessons, Lane Swimming, Casual/Fun swims, Water Polo, Water Safety & life Saving, Artistic Swimming Scuba & Open Water teaching.

Why is this important?

We don't have enough pools in our area so when a new pool is planned it needs to be a modern and flexible design to accommodate as many groups as possible.

just a few more hours to get your voice heard on the porposed new pool in Ballyogan.. so sampel wording..

As an active swimmer in DLR community, the lack of appropriate swimming pools for non-recreational swimmers and water polo players in our area needs to be urgently considered for Ballyogan. Accordingly, I would request that DLRCC revise the plan and provide an all-deep (1.8m depth) pool, still 25m in length, but with a floating floor.

Folks we are close to the end of a Public consultation phase for a “Part 8” planning process for a new pool in Ballyogan. DLRCC has proposed the construction of a New 25m pool. However, the current plans outlined in the documents indicate that the 25m pool will mirror the design of the existing pools in the DLRCC area. These pools are either uniformly shallow like Loughlinstown or feature a minimal "Deep End" as seen in Meadowbrook and Monkstown. We are advocating for DLRCC to revise the plan and provide an all-deep 25m pool with a floating floor, similar to what is utilized in TCD so it can be used by all.
Please utilize the provided link to submit your feedback online; it only takes 5 minutes. The deadline for submissions is next Tuesday Apr 23, so prompt action is essential.

Community, your support means the world! Let's gather signatures for our proposal to the Public Consultation on the new Ballyogan pool. Currently, Dun Laoghaire Leisure claims a movable floor is not wanted or needed. Help us change this mindset. Sign our petition and spread the word! Together, we'll ensure our pool serves everyone. Thank you for standing with us.
