Birr Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I applied for 6 sessions in 6 weeks with Ciaran (gym coach) and I can not thank him enough for the hardwork and dedication he provided for me. Ciaran provided me with great knowledge on how to better my nutrition, diet, working on my strength training, weightlifting, cardio, power muscle building etc. He also went through different types of workouts and where to use them effectively. He created personalised goals to reach in the gym each week with a high focus on technique. Extremely satisfied with the service and commitment Ciaran provided.10/10

Negative experience: We Are from Spain, and we came to Offaly for Summer vacation all July...my two girls (16 and 9 Years old) are very good at swimming... They learned When they were babies. I took them to the pool at Birr leisure centre yesterday at 4 p. m. They wanted to spend the afternoon there. And they went out very angry ...when we picked them up. They told us that the lifeguards were very rude to them. They did not let them do anything. We won't return for sure
Hi Cristina, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts and feedback. Your girls were assessed by two of our experienced swim instructors/lifeguards, as is protocol for people aged 16 and younger who come to the facility without parental supervision. Following this assessment we determined that whilst your older daughter may have been suitable for the deep end of the pool, your younger daughter was not. Additionally, they wished to use the jacuzzi, and were informed they were not allowed to use it as we have strict rules stating that only individuals older than 16 years can use this part of the facility. This was likely the source of their frustration. I hope this clears up this incident for you, if you have any further enquiries or questions please feel free to contact us via phone or email. All the best.
