I was hoping someone here might have direct experience of a pool in Rome, open to the public, either for masters' or general swimming. I will be there for three months this fall and don't want to lose it! Unfortunately, the information at Swimmer's Guide is extremely limited and often out of date.
I recall seeing someone in the blogs saying they were swimming in Rome in the last week or two.
That was probably me. I just got back from Rome this past week and swam almost every day, but just at my hotel pool. I think they have monthly deals for locals, but for non-guests I think it is about E15-20/day, but that includes the fitness center.
The pool was outside 25m, but kept at 30C or higher (that's around 90F or above). It isn't necessarily a lap pool though; there aren't lanelines or markings on the bottom, but I could mostly swim between some of the depth markings. There are places for lanelines, but I never saw them used. The hotel isn't downtown, but about a 10-15 min taxi ride away (the hotel also has a shuttle to Barbarini Piazza).
Shoot me a PM if you want more info.
