Pool attendance figures don’t tell the full story

I WAS amazed to find that in the Cork City Council estimates for ‘05 there were only 8,000 entrants to Douglas swimming pool last year. This is incorrect. Our club, Sundays Well, pays the council approx. €80,000 per annum for use of the pool.

Pool attendance figures don’t tell the full story

During these sessions up to 60 young members of our club use the facility each day between 6.30am and 8am. We also use the pool on Thursdays and Sundays with up to 250 children getting lessons in these sessions alone.

So, on an annual basis, this would mean that our members alone clock up 43,000 visits to the pool.
