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 Unfortunately, the information at Swimmer's Guide is extremely limited and often out of date.

Hi Cheakamus
welcome in Rome! By the way the ending of your nickname (-us) is very common in latin, so you are in the right place!
Jammers are for professionals and in Italy swimming is not so popular like in U.S., therefore you will find tipically amateurs wearing briefs.
Flip-flops or rubber shoes are recommended to avoid warts.
In Rome there are a lot of swimming pools. I would also recommend www.aquaniene.it (50 mt pool in summer) or www.piscinadellerose.it (50 mt pool only summer).
About tools (briefs, pull buoys, caps,...) I recommed to visit Decathlon stores.
Ciao
