So - I'm planning a visit to the Eternal City in May and wouldn't like to give up my usual swim workouts.
Anybody know a place in Rome that's fairly accessible and wouldn't mind someone wanting to swim laps?
I know they have a great subway system so most any place there is doable.
Thanks much.

Well, at CS Santa Maria, you'd pay 18 euros a time. Here's their website (in Italian): http://www.sportsantamaria.it/
Look at "Orari" in the top bar for their hours of operation. Lap swimming is "nuoto libero assistito." (The "assistito" seems to mean that lifeguards/trainers are available to give advice if requested.)
I don't know that you will find anywhere else in Rome that is cheaper for one day at a time drop-ins (unless you find a hotel with an indoor pool to stay at). Make sure you bring that note from your doctor — if you need one and don't have it, it will be expensive to get here.
It's my last swim at noon today. Then I'm off to Paris, where I believe I've found a halfway decent pool in the Latin Quarter near our apartment. (At least the French don't require a membership or a medical certificate!)
Cheers,
John
