Water Safety and Lifeguards

There are currently eight qualified lifeguards employed at the pool at it's busiest times.

Ennis Leisure Complex, has for many years had a great association with water safety and with the Lifeguard Service in particular. Many of the lifeguards who have guarded the beaches of Clare over the years availed of their early training in the pool.

Great credit is due to the many volunteers who devote their time to teaching Swimming and Water Safety to huge numbers of children who use the facility. With the new Complex now in place, it is hoped that many more young people will continue to learn swimming and life saving techniques, ensuring that County Clare will be able to call on Lifeguards of the highest quality to protect the beaches and amenity areas throughout the County for many years to come.
