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!

    I would reach out to the roma nuoto master group. Fun bunch of people. They have different locations around Rome for master practices. Their english is a little rough and I communicated with them through google translate in italian.

    One thing you should check on is if you need a health certificate. My entire family needed that in order to do anything athletically in Italy: swim, play paddle, rent a bike, etc. But it might be different for a one-day pass.

    Edited to add that Rome is big and congested with traffic. I recommend you also look into Ostia for a pool which is much closer to the airport than Rome itself. The Federal Center Polo Natatorio Ostia could potentially be an option.
    Good luck.
