Question 1

Where is it?

Accepted Answer

At Moore's Lock in Monasterevin. On foot from the town, cross the aqueduct over the River Barrow and walk left towards the lock from where you will see the Hub. If driving, drive out of the town towards the old Hazel Hotel and shortly after you pass it turn right along the canal before the bridge.

Question 2

Do I need to be able to swim?

Accepted Answer

No, as you will have a personal floatation device, there will be instructors in the water at all times and it will just be taking place in still water and you will be close to the bank at all times.  Just be confident in the water and you'll be fine.

Question 3

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

Park either directly outside the Hub or on the main street and walk over the aqueduct.  Please do NOT park at the lock or the lockkeeper's cottage or you will be asked to move your car.
