50m of endurance

Increase your stamina with an Olympic-size swimming pool. Located on UCD campus, it offers you 10 lanes in which to test yourself. If you run out of steam, hit the steam room, before unwinding in the jacuzzi or sauna.

Race ahead

Give yourself the best start every morning with acres of parkland on your doorstep. Go for a run along the banks of the River Dodder or discover one of five walks that you can take throughout the UCD campus.

Net worth

Grab your racket and leave it all on the tennis court. Or let your people show you what they’re made of with a 30- foot climbing wall. If they can rise to the challenge, then maybe a choice of 140 fitness classes will test their limits. Just some of the many sports you can enjoy around Founders District.
