Sport Ireland: National Aquatic Centre

Fantastic experience: Very good very nicee

Fantastic experience: Did an hour swim with my daughter. It is setup very well. The amount of people they allow in for the hour was perfect. Will be doing it again.

Fantastic experience: Great! There is full out door gym. Free I believe. I have little social anxiety. So nice to be able to work on auld body. Plus I can play my music as loud as can. If you have car there is car wash at reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: Great set up, for all sports.

Fantastic experience: Nice comfortable well run place

Fantastic experience: very nice, worth going here

Fantastic experience: Loved it. What an amazing facility

Fantastic experience: Excellent Facilities, helpful and engaging staff, very clean and great schedule.

Fantastic experience: Edited to 5 stars after visiting another pool at the weekend. Great facilities for those who love swimming. It is THE place. It's a favourite of mine, out of all of the swimming pools I have been to. Unfortunately, their Admin is non--existent. It takes time and patience to navigate it. If you wish to speak to a member of their Sales Team, you will have to go there in person. They won't answer the phone, return emails or phone messages. The staff are initially quite stern but do warm up to you after seeing you for the umpteenth time. Overall it's very good and I would totally recommend it as a facility. I've been to other structures which don't even remotely come close. It's my happy place and will never cheat on it with another pool again.

Fantastic experience: Great place to enjoy doing your workout and go for swimming

Fantastic experience: Haven't been in a long time but lots of great memories from there..

Fantastic experience: Fantastic swimming pool but water is cold

Fantastic experience: Amazing sports center, swimming class. Activities for kids and adults. Great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Every water based activity you could ask for.. diving/swimming/leisure. This place has it all. Easily accessed and plenty of parking.

Fantastic experience: I have only used the football pitches and the outside facilities for running. The off-road course and 1 and 2 km loops are really good, the off-road being à pretty buff area with the opportunity of doing at least 5 km without ever running the same path and with plenty of elevation changes. There's a mix of tarmac and grass to run on, the 1 in loop is great for intervals etc

Fantastic experience: Incredibly clean facility. Water was clear and clean. On the colder side as expected for a competition pool. Changing cubicles are small.

Fantastic experience: Volunteered at pre Olympic time trials. Professionally run by Swim Ireland and NAC staff. Social distancing maintained throughout.

Fantastic experience: Top of the range facilities, clean & great staff. A family favourite & I often swim there. Can only recommend...

Fantastic experience: Very comfortably safe to go do your work out. All guidelines adhered to. Staff fantastic and always on hand to help and advise FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. Love doing my work outs there.

Fantastic experience: Perfect place to learn how to swim, dive and improve your swimming skills.

Fantastic experience: The entire complex is outstanding. Great facilities, friendly staff. It is really busy though but considering it's the best you can get in Ireland, this is not surprising. The only aspect I am not sure about is their swimming lessons (teachers are not that great). Top place anyway.

Fantastic experience: Great entertainment for whole family, the only downfall my kids are not brave enough to go on big slides and too big just for pirate boat. Otherwise we had great fun in water

Fantastic experience: My son goes to swimming lessons at NAC and they're absolutely fabulous. His teacher Eoghan is excellent. He really cares for the kids and is passionate. Sometimes you get teachers at swimming lessons that seem not to like their job and are doing it until they can find something better but Eoghan was fully engaged with the kids from beginning to end.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities with 3 large water slides, lazy river, wave machine and my favourite, the flowrider. Plenty of staff/lifeguards around. I would prefer if there were more showers but they become available quite quickly.

Fantastic experience: We really enjoy it. We stayed for 3.5 hours midweek. It was busy but wouldn't like to hit it on a weekend. The life guards were excellent.

Fantastic experience: Kids always have a ball at the Aqua Zone. Super strict kiddies area keeps the bigger kids out. Well marshalled and life guarded. Not sure why the desk don't sell tickets prior to opening time...?? Surely if public arrive early and buy a ticket they'd have time to sit in the coffee shop and buy a coffee or drink for the kids prior to Aqua Zone opening. Odd decision by management to have everyone just corralled into standing in a queue when they could be spending (more) money

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant family day out , our group(11of us) age range was 4 months to 66 Years and everyone of us loved it , there are so many lifeguards there I felt so at ease as I had a very adventurous 4year old with me

Fantastic experience: Absolutely stunning sports complex. Great space for martial arts competition with changing rooms, showers and restrooms.

Fantastic experience: The Car wash outside is very handy, We got our car washed while we went swimming! It was absolutely amazing and the Slide's are extremely fun! But you have to be more than 1.1 Metres tall to ride them! The wave pool happens every 20 minutes! I really recommend Going to the far back to the pool during the wave's as you get hit further back and is a lot more enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: This places is fantastic. It gets loud and crowded during competitions. During regular swim time there is plenty of areas for different types of swimming and recreation. The locker rooms can get hectic expecially at closing.

Fantastic experience: I really like this place, perfect for family outings. Hot water in the section for babies. Cool water slides with sometimes have to wait a long time for an inflatable circle. Hot water in the pool, many changing rooms. After a joint play, you can dry out and eat something. Fantastic place for a family who likes to spend time actively.

Fantastic experience: Great amenities. Kids loved it. We had to drag them out of it after 4 hours. They would have stayed until it closed.

Fantastic experience: The competition pool is fantastic there - 50m long. Water temperature very pleasant. Before you pop in there to be swimming just check out their current swimming pool timetable.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time here with my son aged 10. He loved all the flumes and the lazy river. Never had a go on the surf machine but it looked great fun. Loads of friendly life guards all around the centre. Never tried the cafe so cant comment on that.

Fantastic experience: Great fun pool for the family. Clean and warm. They could convert a few of their single changing rooms to more family changing rooms as there's often none free.

Fantastic experience: We had such a great fun family day at the pool. Suitable for all ages and very safe for small kids as it's a bit of a walk to the big pool. Kids loved the pirate ship. It is expensive but as a once off splash out we loved it

Fantastic experience: Great place for a day with the kids of all ages. Can get a bit busy at peak times. Great in the week for toddlers when you get the pool to yourself.

Fantastic experience: Very great place for all of you who love swimming. This place is great for many competitions. Lastly, there was the World paraswimming championship with amazing atmosphere! The only negative might be the distance from the city center but you can take several buses which go there. Around the NAC are many other sport fields which you can also use

Fantastic experience: Very well organized. The changing rooms were clean and we'll kept. Staff were very helpful. The cafe in the foyer was a big bonus.

Fantastic experience: Great place for Irish Sport and also for anyone willing to give it a try, I highly recommend the diving lessons

Fantastic experience: The whole centre is exceptional value for money. Gym never particularly crowded, the swimming pools warm and of good size, the changing rooms and sauna area currently under renovation but expectations set high!

Fantastic experience: My nephews loves this place. Great fun for kids of all ages. The actual pool isn't very deep and the water slides are nice but not overly scary. Defiantly recommend if you have kids.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic facility, nice Deli there too. The gym is well maintained, not huge but on good shape. The pool gets huge use and their site is very helpful as are the staff.

Fantastic experience: Great place, waters slides and a big wave pool.

Fantastic experience: Done a scoba diving course here with scubadivers.ie and it was brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun for everyone! National aquatic centre am has a Olympic pool and water park. Also has a resteraunt. A blast for kids and adults! Only problem the rides for the water park are only open on weekends and holidays so if you want to go on the rides there on a weekday. DON'T!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a world class swimming complex - whether you want to have your kids birthday party here or if you want to train competitively. Aquazone is for fun, admission is pricey but worth it. Recommended for family recreation.

Fantastic experience: Ideal place for sport and leisure

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility located just off the M50 in Blanchardstown. Very well staffed with plenty of lifeguards visible. Expensive enough but you can stay all day if you choose. Nice little eatery jusy outside serving hot/cold food. My daughter attended a birthday party there and gave the food a bit thumbs up.

Fantastic experience: If you have kids, even the small ones, bring them for a swim. Fiver for kids under 3 and you will get to go on Pirate ship slides, and swim. My daughter really enjoys it.
