About Fáskrúðsfjörður Swimming Pool
Fáskrúðsfjörður Swimming Pool (Sundlaug Fáskrúðsfjarðar) is the small municipal pool at Skólavegur 41 in Fáskrúðsfjörður, a fishing village in the Eastfjords run by Fjarðabyggð municipality. It has an indoor pool and one outdoor hot pot.
The key point for travellers is the season. Unlike most Icelandic pools, this one is open in winter only: the winter timetable runs from 1 September to 14 May, and the pool is closed through the summer. In winter it opens on weekday afternoons only, from 16:00 to 19:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and from 16:00 to 20:00 on Tuesday and Friday. It is closed at weekends.
If you are driving the Eastfjords in summer, the nearest open alternatives are the outdoor pools at Stöðvarfjörður and Breiðdalsvík to the south, and the larger pools with water slides at Eskifjörður and Neskaupstaður to the north. In winter, Fáskrúðsfjörður is a quiet option for a warm soak after a day on icy roads, since the indoor pool is unaffected by weather.
Admission follows the Fjarðabyggð tariff in force from 1 May 2026: 1,145 ISK for a single adult entry and 6,926 ISK for a ten-visit card. Visitors aged 16–17 pay 325 ISK, children under 16 swim free, and pensioners and disabled visitors get 50% off. While in the village, the French heritage of Fáskrúðsfjörður, once a base for French fishermen, is worth a look.
