SOS (Save our Swimming Pool) is a group of concerned residents who oppose the closure of Swimming Pools, in Dublin. Dublin City Council unveiled plans to close North side Swimming Pool on 1st January 2010 but following local and political pressure the planned closure was deferred until June 2010. Following further protests, and political pressure, the closure of this pool has been deferred until November.

More people would use the pool if Public hours were increased and the City Council showed some interest in promoting the pool.

There is scope for adding additional services such as:

* mother & Toddler Swimming
* public swimming classes for adults and children,
* birthday parties at the pool,
* water aerobics, Easter & Summer Camps

Dublin is European Capital of Sport for 2010 and we celebrate by closing down swimming pools? Something is not right. We NEED your support to fight this unjust closure, if we wait until November, it will be too late. Please attend the meeting on Wednesday June 16th In St Joseph's National School Macroom Rd, Coolock, Dublin 17 8pm

At a Plenary Session of the European Parliament, Joe Higgins MEP condemns the proposed closure of 3 swimming pools by Dublin City Council and salutes the protests of communitifies in Crumlin, Sean McDermott Street and Coolock who will be greatly affected by the closure, outside Dublin City Hall. While the Council claims that the €1 million necessary to keep the pools open do not exist, the Irish government is pumping €30 billion into recapitalising the banks.
