Following the publication of the Governments roadmap for reopening society and business, we at Coral Leisure are currently working to develop a strategy to re-open our facilities. In conjunction with our Local Authorities we are in the process of finalising the re-opening plans for each of our 9 centres.
The safety of our staff and customers has always been our number one priority. We have been in contact with industry leading experts from across the globe and are ensuring evidence-based procedures will be in place once our pools, gyms and fitness facilities re-open.
Due to the variety and diversity of Coral Leisure facilities across the country, each centre shall have a bespoke programme for re-opening. The site-specific details of these plans shall be communicated to you from your local Coral Leisure centre closer to the date of each phase in the government roadmap.
Across all Coral centres however there will be social distancing measures, hand sanitising stations, rigorous cleaning regimes and comprehensive training for all staff in place when we begin operations again.
In line with the government’s phased roadmap, Coral Leisure hopes to implement a phased reopening of it centres and a phased re-introduction of services.

Phase 2 -June 8th – Small outdoor fitness classes will resume, in some centres with appropriate facilities, with social distancing measure in place. Some centres will also be offering online classes, possibly even before this date.
Phase 4 – July 20th – Swimming Pools will reopen with social distancing measures in place and extensive effective cleaning procedures in place. Limits on numbers will apply.
Phase 5 – August 10th – Gyms, Exercise Studios and sports halls will reopen. Again, limits on numbers will apply, social distancing measure will be in place and extra cleaning procedures will be in place,
​
Please follow our social media channels to be kept informed of the specific plans for your local Coral Leisure centre.
We are looking forward to seeing all of our members and customers in the coming months, as always Coral Leisure is at the heart of your community and we will continue to ensure the highest possible standards as we face into the new world post Coronavirus, together.
 

​Dear Customers, The following is an update on our services throughout the building
We have made the decision to cancel our children's public group swimming lessons with immediate effect. That includes all days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday for all levels (1 - 8) and ducklings. We will try to contact everyone by phone or email to let them know they are cancelled but if everyone could please spread the word and/or share this post that would help
For now The gym and pool will operate as normal with extra staff in place to wipe down surfaces, weight machines bathrooms etc. We have currently 4 main hygiene stations throughout the centre along with 3 wall mounted sanitizing dispensers. Ask staff for more details if needed.
Fitness classes will go ahead however where possible we will be taking them to the sports hall and keeping as much space between people as possible
Aqua Aerobics will go ahead as normal
Please bear in mind we are receiving regular updates from Ireland Active on their communication with the HPSC/HSE with regard to providing specific information re. Covid-19 for leisure centre operators.
Stay safe and if you have any further questions please get in touch.

EcoMerit was delighted to contribute to a Coral Leisure training event conducted recently with their Energy Champions Team in Portlaoise. 
The training covered the global context for action, barriers and benefits to resource efficiency within Coral Leisure and priorities for action in the coming year.
This training was held at Coral Leisure’s inaugural Energy Champion meeting and marked a huge step in how far this role has come and how valued it is. Each Energy Champion has done invaluable work for their own Centres and it must be recognised and given the regard it deserves. It was the first time that the majority of those in the room met; to see the sharing of ideas, as well as the shared enthusiasm for the role, made the entire day worthwhile.
Environmental consciousness is the future for most businesses, as they can see the multitude of benefits that are associated with a greener view, is it any wonder that giants like Microsoft are declaring that they will be carbon negative by 2030.  If Coral Leisure wants to continue to lead the way in our own industry, then the Energy Champion role must grow and evolve as well, along with the continued partnership and support from Ecomerit.
“Coral Leisure’s main goal was to create a network to allow each Energy Champion in Coral Leisure to take full advantage of each other’s experience, resources, and ideas. We have a great pool of talent across the group and it is a huge benefit to be able to tap into this and help each other.  
This was the first step in taking the Energy Champion role in a new direction and giving it the status and respect it deserves.  Thanks to Camillus our “Enthusiastic Energy Engineer” for all his work.
And thanks to Bobby and Christian of Ecomerit for joining us and not only educating but helping to steer us in the right direction.”  ​

We have just launched our School Tour Programme for 2020 and we are delighted to announce it is now open for bookings. Our aim is to cater for all age groups with the emphasis being on fun & fitness. All our activities are based on the principals of fitness and core fundamental movement skills.  In 2019 we catered for a total of 35 schools thorough the summer with our largest school having 110 pupils.
 
Your school can choose either a half day or a full day option.

• The Half Day Option is available from 9.30-1.00pm  
• The Full Day Option is available from 9.30am to 3.00pm.

• Price: Half Day Option Section 1 & Section 2 Included €13 per child
• Price:  Full Day Option Section 1, 2 & 3 Included €16 per child

 
The day is split into 3 sections:
Section 1
Ice Breakers & Invasion Games
During the early morning slot the instructors build a rapport with the students to set the tone for the day. This is best achieved by fun icebreakers. Invasion games such as soccer, football, basketball, dodge ball+ much more. Finally we finish off the morning slot with some parachute games and fun on our bouncy castles & brand new target game.
 
Section 2
Pool Inflatable
The second part of the day is spent in the pool on our 20m obstacle inflatable course. This is hugely popular & great fun
 
Section 3
Team building
Finally after some lunch it’s off to do some Team Building & obstacle courses in the Sports Hall. Here the instructors will take a more passive role and set tasks for the students to solve themselves. To finish the day we have an obstacle course and relay race designed on the principals of fitness.
 
Start and finish times can be accommodated to suit your travel requirements. The activities can also be accommodated to suit your pupil’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to contact me on 064-66-36554 or alternatively you can email me on dan.odonoghue@killarneyleisure.com
