Active Ennis Leisure Complex

Active Ennis Leisure Complex is an indoor health and fitness venue at Sandfield Park, Lifford, Ennis, County Clare. The complex has a practical, activity-focused character, with facilities designed for individual exercise, structured classes, swimming development and club use.

The main facilities include a 25-metre swimming pool, a separate children’s pool and a gym with equipment for a range of workouts. Saunas and steam rooms add a wellness element, while halls are available for classes, lectures and other organised activities. A meeting room is also part of the venue, giving the complex uses beyond swimming and gym sessions.

Fitness programming covers both pool-based and dry activities, with classes intended for different ages and ability levels. Aqua aerobics provides a lower-impact way to exercise in the water, while other classes take place in the dry facilities. Timetables include sessions at different times of day, making the complex suitable for regular training, planned exercise and structured group activities.

Swimming is a central part of the offer. Instructors provide lessons for children and adults, from beginner level through to competitive swimming, with school programmes and intensive holiday lessons also available. Swimming lessons and classes are booked in advance, and the venue provides online booking facilities for relevant activities.

Accessibility is a significant part of the complex’s approach. Facilities include accessible toilets, designated parking spaces, lockers at wheelchair height, adapted gym equipment, a poolside hoist and a ramp to the sauna and steam room area. Other supports include changing-room equipment, a wheelchair shower chair, a reception wheelchair, a Motomed machine, tailored aerobic classes and an audio induction loop at reception. These features make the venue suitable for a broad range of participants, including people with disabilities and reduced mobility.

Active Ennis Leisure Complex suits families seeking swimming lessons, adults looking for gym or fitness sessions, swimmers developing technique and clubs arranging organised activities. Its indoor setting makes it a useful option for scheduled exercise and aquatic activities in Ennis throughout the year.
