The pool, which is one of the few outdoor pools operating in Cork, is available all summer for guests to use and is heated environmentally via Biomass boiler.

The outdoor, heated, swimming pool at Ballymaloe dates back to 1957 when it was dug out for the summer by Ivan Allen.  

The pool is filled each year as soon as the weather gets warm enough - usually sometime in May - and is emptied when it gets too chilly to swim, usually late September.

The pool is free for residents of the house to use and has a large shallow end and a separate paddling pool making it ideal for children.  The deep end is two metres deep but only two strokes to the side.
