Personal record of the swimming pools I've been to

Entries from 2018-01-01 to 1 year

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.

50m - #22 Chiba International General Swimming Center, Chiba

A good swimming complex good for competion. I was there for the Masters competiton.

20m - Hotel Harvest Madarao, Nagano

You can ski and swim here in Madarao! But the pool is a bit small to do meaningful laps.

50m - #4 (repeat) Setagaya-ku Comprehensive Sports Facility Heated Pool

Great place but a bit crowded. Only few lanes are available for lap swim and there are around 10 person in one lane.

Drunk pool - Fioria S-9 Spa Saloon, Roppongi

Don't drink and swim.

50m - #21 Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre

Excellent place to do some laps in central Sydney. There will be many promising young talents swimming next to you. Damn fast.

50m - #21 Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool, Sydney

Nice outdoor pool in the huge park. You can see the warships at the yard from the pool.

50m - #19 North Sydney Olympic Swimming Pool, Australia

A classis olympic size swimming pool with salt water. Yes, its really salty and makes you very thirsty.

50m - #19 Bondi Icebergs Pool

If you are a pool lover like me, you need to try this place. Amazing experience. I am not sure if this should be called a swimming pool because it feels like you are swiming out in the sea.

50m - #18 Aso Azalea 21, Kumamoto

Onesen swimming pool!! With the hot water coming from the famous Aso montains.
