Njarðvík Swimming Pool

About Njarðvík Swimming Pool

Njarðvík Swimming Pool is a small indoor pool in the Njarðvík district of Reykjanesbær, the town next to Keflavík International Airport on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It is at Norðurstígur 2 and is the smaller of the town's public pools; the main one, Vatnaveröld in Keflavík, has a 50-metre indoor pool, an outdoor pool and much longer opening hours.

The facility has a 12.5-metre indoor pool, hot tubs and a sauna, with separate sauna times for men and women during the week. It is mainly a local training and school pool, so it is quiet and simple rather than a place to spend a whole afternoon. For travellers staying near the airport, it can be a useful early-morning option before a flight, as long as you check the timetable first.

Opening depends strongly on the season. From 20 August to 6 June the pool is open for public swimming on weekday mornings from 06:30 to 08:00, with a limited number of weekday evening sessions, and it is closed at weekends. From 7 June to 19 August the pool itself is closed, but the hot tubs and steam room open Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 20:00. If you want a full swim at weekends or in summer, go to Vatnaveröld instead.

Single adult entry at Reykjanesbær's pools is 1,300 ISK; check child and concession rates at the desk. The pool can be reached on 420 1515. As at all Icelandic pools, you must shower without a swimsuit before entering the water. The Blue Lagoon and the Bridge Between Continents are both within about 20 minutes' drive.
