NEWSTALK
About this episode

‘Leg danglers are the swimming pool equivalent of people who stand at the end of an escalator’ so says Ceire Sadlier, Irish Times contributor who suggests that we all need a lesson in pool etiquette. It is an opinion shared by Dr Clare Moriarty, a Research Fellow at the TCD Long Room Hub, so is it time we all got a lesson in how to behave in the pool?

Céire and Clare join Ciara to discuss the etiquette and importance of access to pools across the country.
