'Formal framework for private lessons at Mullingar Swimming Pool being developed'

Westmeath County Council comment on private lessons at Mullingar Swimming Pool

Mullingar Swimming Pool is currently developing a formal operational framework governing the provision of private swimming lessons to ensure robust standards around child protection, safety, insurance, and instructor competency.

Unauthorised private swimming lessons will not be permitted at the facility from 1 May 2026 .This temporary measure is necessary to ensure safe supervision and the fair use of pool space for all users.

We recognise that this may cause inconvenience and appreciate the cooperation of all pool users while these operational arrangements are being finalised.

The above statement was issued in response to a request to the council from the Examiner in relation to the article below.
