Lovely facility with all the equipment that could be needed. Nice friendly staff and clean and tidy. A little expensive for a public facility and the pool was very busy with kids but lovely facility and will be back.

This place is good but badly managed.It happened to me lots of time that i paid and sauna is not working and there is no notice about it at the desk or on facebook page and its the only thing why im driving from Carlow to Watershed.Changing rooms at least 5 of them are full of bags and clothes of some people that are lazy to put them in to the lockers.Floor is not kept dry,always wet and full of hairs,same toiletes and also people staying in jaccuzzi for most of their visit and not leting other people to enjoy it.

Reviews are always relative and subjective but wirh family in this city warranting regular drop ins or visits, and when you have a young family yourself such facilities as these come under particular scrutiny...ive seen so many poor ie dated similar facilities elsewhere on our small island that this for now is a standout and i am happy to say congratulations and support.

Love the watershed. All staff are amazing and so happy to help.
Changing areas, showers & toilets always spotless . Pool is great. Lovely baby pool with slides & water features, second kids pool also great. Bigger pools also for big kids/ adults. Had a treat today as they had an inflatable water slide to play on ( free of charge) also jacuzzi, sauna & steam room for adults only. Always plenty of life guards who actually take interest in their jobs.
Great facilities & family swim only €17 for as long as you want. Can't ask for more.

We brought our toddler here and we all had a great time. The place is spotless. They have family changing rooms which are ideal. They even have highchairs for the smaller babies which is great if it's just one parent and baby. Wish we had somewhere as nice as this closer to home!
