Hi there,
My family and I will be traveling to South Korea in June and are looking to stay in a hotel in Seoul for at least part of our time. I know there's a decent hotel pool at the Hotel Shilla, where we stayed when we went 8 years ago, but I'm wondering if anyone has stayed at the Grand Hyatt, or somewhere else with a good lap pool. I have a 10-mile swim scheduled for a month after we get back so I have to be able to get in some decent yardage while we are there.
Thanks!
It takes 30 minutes by subway to get from the Shilla to the Olympic swimming pool. Men and women can do lap swimming from 1pm-4pm for 4,000 won roughly $3.00.
Todays rate is 1330won/$, this might be something to keep your eye on. it's gone up from 950 to as much as 1600won.
There are at least 8 lanes... my brother loves to mention "it's the actual pool used in the 88 Olympics." he gets a big kick out of being able to say that he has swum in it. My brother has never seen more than 4 people in one lane. Usually 1-3.
