About Suðureyri Swimming Pool

Suðureyri Swimming Pool (Suðureyrarlaug) is the outdoor pool in the small fishing village of Suðureyri on Súgandafjörður in the Westfjords. Opened in 1992 and heated by a nearby hot spring, it is the only outdoor pool in the Ísafjarðarbær municipality, which makes it the closest place to swim outdoors for visitors staying in Ísafjörður.

The pool is 17 metres long. There are also two hot tubs, a wading pool for children and an outdoor sauna, and the complex beside the school includes a gym and sports hall. Changing rooms are shared, with no private cubicles.

Suðureyri is reached from Ísafjörður on Route 60 through the Vestfjarðagöng tunnel, then Route 65 through the tunnel's 2.9 km Suðureyri branch. The pool is at Túngata 8 in the village.

Summer hours, from 2 June, are 11:00–20:00 every day, with a closure on 17 June. Winter hours, from 23 August, are Monday 17:00–20:00, Tuesday and Thursday 16:00–19:00, Wednesday 13:00–19:00 and weekends 11:00–17:00; the pool is closed on Fridays in winter.
