Exciting news for Dubliners, as Clontarf's open air seawater baths are now open to the public.
The historic baths first opened back in 1886, featuring a large tidal pool that jutted out from the Clontarf coastline into the Irish sea. The Clontarf Swimming Club was founded in Clontarf Parish Hall in 1884, and held regular races and waterpolo matches in the outdoor pool.
Now, the olympic standard pool is open to the public once more, for anyone who wants all the rush of a sea swim without the threat of a jellyfish sting. Clean Irish seawater is lightly chlorinated for health and safety and filtered into the baths, and pumped out again in a refreshment process every few weeks.
