Swimming Pool in Belfield

(1/4) > >>

slapper:
UCD have a planning application lodged for a 50m swimming pool which I think has been granted by now. It's to be built between the sports centre and the student forum.

It would be a good idea for the canoe club to get in touch with the UCD sports council and lobby them allow us use the swimming pool for pool sessions and canoe polo practice.

This may have already been done, but if it hasn't, it would be a good idea to get in touch with the relevant people fairly soon. Justification for allowing us use the pool could be given in terms of how much it costs us to hire another pool each week, the amount of time wasted travelling  to and from town to go to pool sessions which could instead be spent on the water teaching people, the annual crap performance of our polo team at varsities etc.

As I said, maybe it's already been done, but if not it's worth thinking about.

hi John,
I was just talking about this to rodger last night. did you know DCU will not allow there club which has a very good polo record use their new pool. I think we really need to talk to the department of sport about this.

Siobhan UL:
UL gets free use of their pool 3 evenings a week so it might be an example worth mentioning.  Public access to the pool is open until 9:45 and the club heads in after that until the centre closes at 11pm although they have to share half the pool on Thursdays with the water polo team.

Towelyey:

Ooooh! For years Kevin Street was the only college in Dubin with a pool. It's been there since the 80s! You guys still don't have one. Disrespect ye not the mighty Kevin Street pool, in all its 15-metre majesty...

Jim.
