Baltimore Pool Gets Major Upgrade | Ireland News

Baltimore’s Wild Atlantic Pool is getting a massive 12-week renovation — its biggest in 30 years — to ensure it lasts for future generations. After hitting rock bottom with just 40 members four years ago, the community-owned center has surged to 180 active members and now employs 25 people. The centerpiece of the upgrade? A full retiling of the pool — the first since opening over 30 years ago — while the gym stays open and the pool area closes until November. Meanwhile, the facility’s under-13 girls’ swim team stunned everyone by winning silver at the National Community Games, proving that even in a rural 16-meter pool, dedication can shine. Thanks to over €300,000 raised through grants and fundraising, upgrades like energy-efficient heat pumps and new gym gear are already underway — all paving the way for a safer, modern, and enduring aquatic hub.
