Birr — Irish Naturist Association swim
Birr, County Offaly
INA membership and an event booking are required. Usually the first Saturday each month. The next published session is 5 December 2026, 17:30–19:00; the checked calendar does not yet establish 2027 dates.
An organised Saturday naturist swim at Birr’s community-owned leisure centre. INA hires the pool for its members, creating a relaxed swimming session separate from the public timetable.
Nudity policy
Naturist during the INA booking only
This is a non-sexual naturist group session organised by the Irish Naturist Association. Nude use applies to the booked facilities during the advertised session; normal public opening hours are not a naturist invitation.
Remain clothed on public approaches and in any areas outside the organiser’s private hire. Follow the organiser’s towel and photography rules.
Facilities
- Pool: Host-venue facility; use only the areas included in the booked naturist session.
- Showers: Host-venue facility; use only the areas included in the booked naturist session.
Pool and changing/showers are listed for this swim. Additional host-centre heat or spa facilities may exist, but their availability in this private hire is not confirmed and is not included in the filters.
Access & visiting
INA membership is required to attend its events. Join and book through the organiser before travelling; a normal leisure-centre or sauna ticket is not a booking for the naturist session. No overnight stay is required.
Age & supervision
The checked session page does not specify admission for under-18s. Ask INA about age eligibility and supervision before booking a younger participant; ordinary host-venue child admission does not establish the naturist event policy.
