Swimming in Rome

07UAT

I will be in Rome next month (en route to the Alps to cheer on Team USA!), and I would like to swim some laps. I have two goals:

1) I am trying to swim in every pool that has hosted the Olympics, so I am planning on going to head to the Stadio Olimpico del Nuoto, and I think I have the details ironed out for that, but if anyone has been there and can offer advice, I'm happy to listen.

2) Whenever I fly to Europe I try to hit a pool the day I land, since I typically arrive too early to check in to my hotel, and going to a pool offers me an opportunity to shower, get changed, and get some blood flowing to perk me up for the rest of the day of fighting off jet lag. I arrive mid-day on a Saturday, and the Stadio Olimpico closes at 2pm, so does anyone have any other suggestions about where I might swim?

There are a few threads on this board with swimmers asking the same questions, but they appear to me more than 15 years old, so any fresh information would be welcome.

Thanks!

    First I want to say that I think your quest for swimming in every pool that has hosted the Olympics is really cool. But I guess that also meant a lot of traveling. If it’s for leisure that’s awesome. If it’s for work…well…

    Secondly, I keep this URL link on hand to use myself, and also pass it along when others come into the USMS forums asking about where to swim when traveling. It’s a worldwide database of pools, with notes about pools specs, operating hours, who can use it, teams, etc.

    If you go to a pool on the list, and the info for it has changed, you can submit corrections. Or, you can add a pool that isn’t on the list.

    Good luck and have fun.
