Outdoor Aqua Aerobics at Clontarf Baths

Rediscover the Joy of Movement in Dublin’s Most Stunning Setting

Experience the Joy of Outdoor Aqua Aerobics at Clontarf Baths 

“I never thought exercise could feel this good. The water supports my body, the sunshine lifts my mood, and the friendships keep me coming back week after week.” – Margaret, 65

YES! COUNT ME IN!

Remember that wonderful feeling of being in water on a sunny day? That sense of weightlessness, freedom, and pure joy? Well, that’s exactly what awaits you at our Outdoor Aqua Aerobics sessions at the beautiful Clontarf Baths.

Gentle on Joints

Water’s buoyancy reduces impact by up to 90%, making movements that hurt on land completely comfortable.

Full-Body Workout

Water provides 12x more resistance than air, toning muscles without heavy weights.

Boost Your Mood

Combine gentle exercise with sunshine for a natural dose of endorphins and vitamin D.

No Swimming Required

All exercises take place in chest-deep water, with full support from our certified instructors.

Aqua Aerobics: Where Fitness Meets Friendship & Fresh Air

Why Our Ladies (And Brave Gents!) Keep Coming Back

It’s Kinder Than Dry Land Could Ever Be

Let’s be honest – those knees and joints might not be what they once were, right? In water, you’re supported, cushioned, and free. There’s simply nothing on land that compares with:

  • The way your body feels almost weightless, yet you’re still getting a proper workout
  • Moving freely without worrying about falling or jarring your joints
  • Strengthening muscles that have perhaps grown a bit quieter over the years
  • Feeling energised rather than exhausted after exercise
  • Actually looking forward to fitness – perhaps for the first time in years!

As Mary from Raheny tells us: “On land, I can barely manage a short walk without my hip complaining. In the water? I’m dancing again!”


The Outdoor Factor Is Pure Magic

There’s just something special about being outdoors in Dublin when the weather’s nice, isn’t there? Our members tell us there’s nothing that compares with:

  • That first moment when sunshine warms your face while cool water supports your body
  • The gentle sea breeze that makes you feel thoroughly alive
  • Looking up at the open sky rather than a gym ceiling
  • That “I’m on holiday” feeling – right here in Dublin!
  • Making the absolute most of our precious Irish summer

“After all those months of grey skies, being outdoors in the water feels like such a treat. It’s like a little holiday twice a week,” says Jean from Clontarf.

The Friendship Factor

Hand on heart, this might be the best bit. Our Aqua community is special:

  • The chats and laughs in the changing room before class
  • The supportive nods when someone masters a new move
  • The weekly catch-ups that have nothing to do with exercise
  • The coffee gatherings that often follow Thursday sessions
  • The genuine care when someone misses a week

“I came for my arthritis but stayed for the ladies,” laughs Barbara, who’s been with us for three seasons. “We’ve celebrated birthdays, supported each other through health scares, and shared more cake than I care to admit!”


A Gentle Word About Feeling Nervous

Feeling a bit apprehensive about getting into a swimsuit? Worried you won’t keep up? Not sure what to expect?

Let me tell you something – nearly EVERYONE feels that way before their first class.

Within five minutes of being in the water, those worries melt away. Our community is wonderfully supportive, and our instructor Sarah has a gift for making everyone feel comfortable.

As Aisling (aged 68) put it: “I nearly talked myself out of coming that first day. What a mistake that would have been! Now I bring my sister-in-law too.”

What Happens In A Class?

You might be wondering what we actually get up to in the water! Each 45-minute session includes:

  • A gentle warm-up to get your body moving
  • Fun, rhythmic movements to music you’ll actually recognise (no thumping techno here!)
  • Exercises with special water equipment to strengthen different muscle groups
  • Balance and coordination activities that feel more like play than work
  • A relaxing cool-down that leaves you feeling wonderful

And the best part? You adapt everything to YOUR level of comfort Need to take it easier one day? No problem. Feeling energetic? Push yourself a bit more!


What You’ll Need

Just bring yourself, a swimsuit you feel comfortable in, and a towel. That’s it! We provide all the equipment, clean water, and plenty of encouragement.

“I was worried about looking silly in a swimsuit at my age. Now I realise nobody cares – we’re all just there to feel good!” — Deirdre, 59

A Few Practical Questions, Answered With a Smile

Absolutely! The beauty of water is that you control the intensity. Move faster for more challenge, slower for less. Many of our most enthusiastic members hadn’t exercised in decades before joining us!

We only cancel for heavy rain or thunderstorms. A light Irish drizzle? We’re already wet, so we just laugh and carry on! We’ll always let you know if a class is cancelled.

Not at all! You’ll be in chest-deep water where you can stand comfortably. Many of our members don’t swim at all. Some prefer a swim after our class.

Come Join Our Aqua Family!

Summer in Dublin is precious – let’s make the most of it together! There’s simply nothing that compares with the feeling of moving freely in water, surrounded by friendly faces, under the open sky.

We’re saving a spot for you at the Baths.
