Facility Notes
The 50m outdoor pool, which had previously been open only in summer has been converted to year-round operation.
In summer, the outdoor 50 metre pool is set up for lap swimming from 7 to 9 AM only; at 9 AM the lane ropes are removed and the pool is available for general, recreational (play) swimming. Admission and pass rates are the same for both pools.
Facility Reviews
There was adult lap swimming but only two lanes had lane lines. There were four or five people in my lane.
Swimming is OK when not crowded. There's a lane for 'fast breast stroke' and one for 'crawl'. The rest of the pool is used by slower lane swimmers.
Extremely crowded during afternoon lap hours, many people squeezed into the two lap lanes. Extremely turbulent in lap lanes (almost like swimming in open water!). Within walking distance of convention center. Great find for a tourist!
Only two lanes were available for lap swimming, so it got quite crowded. There was no lane etiquette or any guidance on speed/time for each lane. There were no pace clocks and the lane dividers were too loose so it kept catching toes or little fingers. I would not recommend this pool for serious swim training.

Like most pools in the Netherlands, recreational swimming is prioritised over lane swimming. The indoor lap pool is too crowded. The outdoor pool, however, is great for 50m lengths during the summer, and when the weather is not so warm (which is often!) the outdoor pool is not crowded at all.

The water in the 25m indoor pool has become so filthy recently that you can't see underwater from one end to the other. Add to that floating large bandages and balls of fluff. Not appealing. The price has gone up and water quality has gone down.
