Swim ireland

Welcome to Swim Ireland’s Infrastructure Hub – a central resource for anyone planning, developing or operating swimming pools in Ireland.

We provide clear, practical guidance grounded in national insight, real data and sector experience. Whether you work in local government or the leisure industry, this is your space to access independent information, explore good practice and make informed decisions.

Our role is simple: to support better outcomes for communities by sharing expertise – without commercial agenda or conflict of interest.

Swim Ireland, supported by funding though Sport Ireland, engaged FMG Consulting Ltd. to collate and analyse data on swimming pools throughout the country. This Swimming Pool Gap Analysis Report is the first analysis of its kind and will enable better decision making and target investment more effectively in future years.

The data reveals a complex picture of pool ownership and operating models, particularly in the Republic of Ireland where Local Authority owned pools can be operated directly or through entities on a commercial or a not-for-profit basis. Much of the data is therefore presented as hotel or non-hotel for clarity.

Starting a renovation, new build, or feasibility study can be challenging – especially knowing where to begin. Swim Ireland, in conjunction with Ireland Active, has developed this Directory to help Local Authorities and leisure managers identify trusted suppliers of products and services.

By highlighting reputable companies with a proven track record, we aim to provide objective information that supports informed decision-making and ensures value for money. Swim Ireland and Ireland Active do not receive any benefit from the companies listed in this Directory; our goal is simply to be a trusted advisor.
