A hive of activity in the family-friendly suburb of Douglas, LW Management took over the running of the Gus Healy Swimming Pool in 2012 on behalf of Cork City Council.
Named in honour of keen swimmer and two-time Lord Mayor of Cork (1964 and 1975) Augustine ‘Gus’ Healy, the pool is open all year ’round and is available to clubs, schools and other organisations, as well as to the general public at dedicated times. Recent improvements, including new lighting and resurfacing in the car park, will ensure this local swimming pool remains a focal point of the community for years to come.
