Swim-only price options confimed for new Mayo leisure complex
MAYO County Council has today issued a comprehensive price list for the new Leisure Complex @ Lough Lannagh in Castlebar which addresses concerns raised by the public about the cost of a swim at the €11 million facility, which opens to the public tomorrow.
With the offer of €40 for first month membership proving very popular, the list reveals that swimmers can purchase a book of 10 multi-swim and spa use tickets for €70, which works out at €7 per public session.
While it is a significant increase on the old pool's price, it is a competitive offer for such a state-of-the-art facility and one likely to please swimmers only.
Other 'pay as you go options' are: Single (swimming pool, heath spa and gym) €10, Child (under-16, swimming pool use only) €5; Over-55s, jobseekers and students (swimming pool, health spa and gym) €7.50; and Family (2 adults and two children, swimming pool use only for Under-16s and swimming pool, health spa and gym for adults) €20. Toddlers under three are free.
There is a range of memberships for three months, six months and 12 months.
A single membership, which includes pool, spa and gym as well as yoga and pilates, is €490 for 12 months.
For a couple, it is €900 per annum and €420 for over-55s, jobseekers and students. An over 55 couple can enjoy the facilities of the complex for €800 per annum while second level students over 16 can have full annual membership for €300 per annum,
