Facility Notes
There is also a 50m x 26m, 10 lane, 0m - 3m adjustable depth, 27.5º - 28.5ºC (81.5º - 83.3ºF), indoor competition pool and a 25m x 22m, 0m - 5m depth, indoor diving pool here. Both are open only from early May until the end of September. For the rest of the year, the space is converted to an ice rink!
You have to take a mandatory break from the top of the hour to ten minutes after the hour.
This facility was formerly listed as the Maruzen INTEC Osaka Swimming Pool ( 丸善インテック大阪プール); we have no idea why the name has been changed.
Facility Reviews
Clean with nice locker rooms, no extra charge for lockers, good hours 0900-2000, and right next to a subway station. The pool temp. was warmer than I'm used to; a sign said 30.1 - 30.3ºC, but I doubt it was that warm. The air, at ~30º, was too warm and humid. Osaka pool was better than most Japanese pools in this regard. Only the 25m pool was available. The larger pool is an ice rink in the winter and had not been converted back to a pool. Overall, I recommend this pool and will swim there again.
When open, the 50 meter Olympic pool is a great facility, with a perfect temperature for serious swimming (between 27.5º and 28.5ºC). The lanes are not crowded at all, at least during daytime. Do not forget to check the schedule before coming, however, as some (or all) lanes might be used for clubs or events.
Take the Osaka metro to Asashiobashi station and follow the signs to “Osaka Pool”.

I swam in the 50m pool. It was clean, well organized, and a comfortable temperature, although on the warm side, and relatively empty in the mid-morning. They seemed to be more lenient about the rules here than at other Japanese pools, as several people were using their own equipment and had water bottles on the pool deck.
Although it was a little outside the main tourist area, it was easy to reach by public transportation. Be aware that if you arrive by Metro, you have to walk out to the main road and go down the stairs to find the entrance.
Overall, it’s a nice place to swim laps.
