Piscina Cozzi

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

Built in 1934, this pool was once the largest indoor pool in Europe.
There is also a 20m x 10m, 0.5m - 1.3m depth, indoor pool at this location.
Swim caps are required.
Bring a €1.00 coin for the small lockers at the front for your wallet, keys, and phone; the coin is refunded.

Facility Reviews

The pool has wide, long lanes, but no separation by speed. No place to stand; the water is about 18" (½m) below the rim with only handholds at the end of each lane. Afterwards, rinse, but don't remove your suit, (it's prohibited except in the changing booth.)
I never saw so many people in one lane, CHAOS…
When I went, the swimmers were pretty good in my lane; and it's recently been refurbished. A very positive experience.
The facility has extensive hours, so it is a safer bet that, when you go, it will be open. I went at 7:30 PM, and it was pretty crowded. They now have the lanes marked for speed, which helps, but there are plenty of clueless swimmers who are not in the correct lane. The water seemed about 79º/80ºF (26º/27ºC). If you go expecting lots of interruptions and choppy water, you will not be so disappointed. In this situation, the 33 meters helps get it done.

Rating: 6 on a scale of 10. This is a very busy pool. Thirteen swimmers in each of five lanes for hours. Quite a lot of slow swimming and avoiding other people - and the water does get choppy. Bring your own lock for the lockers.
[May, 2014]
This is an excellent pool with very "involved" lifeguards who forbid the use of fins, except in a pool so shallow they can't be used there; other swim aids are OK. The lifeguards spend much time in alcoves using cell phones, but are less unfriendly than lifeguards at many Italian pools. Lockers are provided; bring your own lock. No mandatory EKG signage in evidence. Long open hours. Convenient public transport.
[September, 2017]
A great experience. This is a grand, Fascist-era monument to sport, and almost overwhelming in scale. How many public pools have their own Wikipedia page (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piscina_Cozzi)?

Lap swimming is available all day, unlike many Italian public pools. The pool is too deep and long for classes or children! Contrary to earlier reviews, the lanes are clearly marked for speed and swimmers were very respectful of each other.

The locker rooms, which are enormous, were recently renovated and are of a much higher quality than those of any other European public pools I've used, although the showers are bare-bones.

The pool is close to the Repubblica Metro station.
