Tralee Regional Sports and Leisure Centre (Tralee Sports Complex as it is known locally) is the premier sporting facility in the South West catering as it does for individuals, groups, members, schools, Tralee Institute of Technology, local clubs, provincial and National Governing Bodies (NGB’s) and International Sporting Events and in the past has been host to the FISEC Games, International Qualifiers for Olympic Games, National Age Group Swimming Championships and International Racquetball Championships to name a few.

Built in 1976 it has developed over the years into a modern multi-purpose and user-friendly facility. While many other facilities of this era have since become victim of their age, it has always been the centre's policy to continuously update and modernise its facilities through the help of the National Lottery Funding and local funding. It is a facility built for the people and by the people of Tralee and is a testament to the high esteem the centre is held with over 350,000 visits a year to the facility. The Complex is owned by Tralee Town Council and Kerry Education Service currently receives no operational funding as it is run by a separate company at arms length away from its owners.

Our Swimming Pools

The pool hall has two swimming pools and a village-type changing area on the lower ground floor, off which the health suite consists of a steam room, a sauna and showers. The main pool is a five-lane pool measuring 25m x 9.5m, this pool is 1m deep at the shallow end and 2m deep at the deep end. The learner pool is 12m x 7.5m, with the depth ranging from 0.6m to 0.9m. There is a balcony area with a seating capacity for over 160 people overlooking the swimming pools. Both pools have disabled hoists available for patrons who might need assistance. Each Pool has its own separate plant which allows for warmer water temperatures in the small pool for beginners. More recently the centre has installed its own CHP (Combined Heat and Power Plant) as part of its need to minimise its energy costs and allows the centre to generate over 50% of its own electricity.
