Personal record of the swimming pools I've been to

50m - #45 Fukushima Moriai Shimin Pool

This was also great and nice pool. Not made for competition but still a good one. Only two lanes are reserved for lap swimming so if there are few more serious swimmers, it might get a bit crowded.

50m - #44 Fukushima Chuo Shimin Pool

Great pool. I was the only one swimming in this pool until some kids joined me after 30+ min. Clean and nice facility. Well maintained. The only issue I had was that I was forced to take 5 min break after 25 min of swimming. Cannot swim lo…

50m - #43 Utsunomiya Yonan Pool

The pool was even older than Eki-higashi pool. However the water was clean and three lanes were kept for lap swim. I was the only one in the lane. The surface gets super hot so it would be better to bring your sandals inside.

50m - #42 Utsunomiya Eki-higashi Koen Pool

Nice pool with clean water. Many lifeguards. Lockers are small with 100yen coming back when you are done. Facility is pretty old and not many people are using the pool.

50m - #41 ToBiO, Hamamatsu

One of the best swimming complex in Hamamatsu Japan.

50m - #40 Sagamihara Green Pool, Kanagawa

Great pool for competition. But far from the station.

50m - #39 Nohoro General Gymnasium Park Swimming Pool

Excellent 50 pool in Nohoro. The facility was used for the National Athletic Meet in 1989.

50m - #38 Piscina Sant Jordi

Great indoor public pool in Barcelona.

25m - Piscina Municipal de Montjuic

A public pool with super great view from the hill of Montjuic. It has a diving pool with it but it is not open to public.

50m - #37 Complex Aquatic i Esportiu Can Mercader

Ok this one is great 50m pool but it is not suitable of lap swim. Good for family recreation. Indoor pool is good for lap swim.

50m - #36 Piscines Municipals de L'Hospitalet

Excellent 50m pool that is located near Torrassa station that is about 20min from the center of Barcelona.

50m - #35 Piscines Bernat Picornell, Barcelona

The real olympic pool that was used for Barcelona Olypic Game. Very expensive but worth trying.

50m - #34 Hiragishi Swimming Pool, Sapporo

Nice 50m pool but I've visited this one before...

50m - #12 (repeat) Miyagi G21 Pool, Sendai

Nice one but I forgot that I visited this place before...

25m - Kudamatsu City Heated Pool Aquapia Koiji, Kudamatsu

A good 25m swimming pool in Kudamatsu next to garbage disposal plant.

50m - #33 Shunan City Pool, Yamaguchi

A very old 50m swimming pool. I was there all alone although it was 4pm of mid summer. I guess the city is losing its younger population.

Fun pool - Sunshine Southern Seto, Yamaguchi

Small pool for kids in a hotel in Oshima, Yamaguchi

50m - #32 Kawaguchi City Pool, Kawaguchi

A 50m pool suitable for competition that is located in Aokicho Park.

50m - #31 Wadahori Park Pool, Suginami

Old 50m pool in next to the forest of Suginami.

50m - #30 Numakage Park Pool, Saitama

One of those recreational pool in Saitama. Good for lap swim.

50m - #29 Aqua Field Shiba Park Pool, Shiba

50m outdoor pool in the center of Tokyo. Only open during the summer.

50m - #28 Owada Park Pool, Omiya

One of those recreational pool with water sliders and flowting pool. These pools are everywhere in Japan but many are old and not very well maintained. Good for lap swim as not much are using the lap pool.

25m - Tokyo American Club Sky Pool

Roof top swimming pool of Tokyo American Club. Members and their guests are only allowed.

50m - #27 Kyodonomori Sogo Pool, Fuchu

Old public pool that is only open during the summer. There are water sliders and flowing pool, too.

50m - #26 Haginaka Park Swimming Pool

A very nice and cheap public swimming pool.

50m - #25 Edogawa Sportsland

A swimming pool that is operating only during the summer. A good one but old.

50m - #6 (repeat) Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium Swimming pool

One that I go most often. The good thing about this pool is that the lane is distinguished by the lap speed. Lifeguards will tap you and move to the next lane if you are going too slow.

50m - #24 Harvard Blodgett Pool, Boston

A home swimming pool for the harvard versity swimming team. Open to alums during the summer, too.

50m - #23 MIT Zesiger Center Pool, Boston

A very nice 50m pool that is located in the MIT campus.

25y - River Court Condominiums, Cambridge

A lap pool inside the condo that I used to live.
