Facility Reviews
There are two pools at this facility: a 50m x 25m, outdoor pool and a 25m, indoor, very warm pool. The outdoor pool is fine, recently cleaned after some water quality problems. The changing and shower facilities are minimal, with no lockers (or toilet paper). There are no clocks, no timers, and no equipment. There is no information about the facility online, according to a regular I spoke with. The staff was friendly and helpful, despite my lack of Italian.
The schedule for public swimming appears to be: Monday through Friday: 8 AM to 2 PM (50m lanes from 8 to 11 AM, 25m free swim [with no lane markers] 11 AM to 2PM), Saturdays from 8 to 11 AM, subject to water polo matches.
On a Thursday at 11 AM, there was plenty of room to do 25m laps. On a Saturday at 9:30 AM, I was sent to the indoor teaching pool, which is seriously overheated. There were two people per lane until about 10 AM, when I was alone until two kids started a lesson. I wasn't kicked out.
