Swimming PoolsSundlaugin Laugalandi
Sundlaugin Laugalandi is the small municipal swimming pool at Laugaland in the Holt district of Rangárþing ytra, South Iceland, a short drive north of Hella and Route 1. It is the kind of rural pool where you may share the hot tub with a handful of locals and nobody else. The setup is simple: an 8 by 16 meter outdoor pool, two hot tubs and a water slide. There is no sauna or steam room, so come to Laugaland for a swim and a soak rather than a spa afternoon. Hours are what you need to plan around. In summer 2026 the pool opens only on Friday 14:00 to 21:00, Saturday 10:00 to 19:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 15:00, while the winter 2026 to 2027 timetable is just Tuesday and Thursday, 15:00 to 19:00. The municipality does not publish the exact changeover dates, so check its official pool page before you make the detour. Rangárþing ytra's 2026 tariff puts adult pool entry at 1,500 ISK and ages 10 to 15 at 500 ISK, and residents under 18 swim free. If Laugaland is closed, Hella Swimming Pool is about 10 km away and opens every day. Either way, an hour is plenty, and as at every pool in Iceland you must shower without a swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsSundlaugin Laugaskarði
Sundlaugin Laugaskarði is the public swimming pool of Hveragerði, the geothermal town on Route 1 about 45 km east of Reykjavík. It sits at Laugaskarð on the bank of the Varmá river at the edge of town, about 40 minutes' drive from the capital. The Laugaskarð swimming pool opened in 1938, and after it was lengthened to 50 meters it was for many years the largest pool in Iceland, where the national swim team trained. That long outdoor lane pool is still the main draw. Around it are hot tubs, a whirlpool and a natural steam bath heated by steam rising from the ground. For most travelers, the Hveragerði swimming pool makes sense paired with the Reykjadalur hot river hike, whose trailhead is a few kilometers north of town. Swim here before or after the walk and you get proper showers and changing rooms, which the valley lacks. It also works as a first or last stop on a South Coast or Golden Circle day. From May 15 to September 14, the pool opens 06:45 to 21:30 on weekdays and 09:00 to 19:00 on weekends. The rest of the year it closes at 20:30 on weekdays, with weekend hours of 10:00 to 17:30. A single adult ticket is 1,500 ISK and a child ticket 440 ISK, both valid for a year after purchase, and a 10-visit adult card is 5,640 ISK.
Swimming PoolsSuðurbæjarlaug
Suðurbæjarlaug is a public swimming pool at Hringbraut 77 in the south of Hafnarfjörður, the harbor town about 20 minutes' drive south of central Reykjavík. With two waterslides, three hot tubs and a pair of cold tubs, it is the pool Hafnarfjörður families head to on a Saturday. It is one of the town's three public pools, along with Ásvallalaug and the older Sundhöll Hafnarfjarðar. The main pool is outdoors and measures 12.5 by 25 meters, and it connects to an indoor training pool that doubles as a children's pool. Around them you have three hot tubs, a steam bath and two cold tubs kept at different temperatures. Small children get a wading pool with a mushroom spray fountain, and massage therapists work on site if you want more than a soak. Since this is a working Hafnarfjörður swimming pool, school swimming, club practice and water aerobics take up lanes at set times. Early mornings and weekday evenings are the quietest for laps, while weekend afternoons fill with families. The outdoor pool and hot tubs stay open all year, and a winter evening in the steam is one of the cheaper ways to warm up near the capital. Opening hours are 06:30 to 22:00 Monday to Thursday, 06:30 to 20:00 on Friday, 08:00 to 18:00 on Saturday and 08:00 to 21:00 on Sunday. An adult ticket costs 1,250 ISK, and children under 18 and seniors aged 67 and over swim free. You can rent a swimsuit or a towel for 940 ISK, or both for 1,450 ISK. Allow an hour or two, and shower without your swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsSuðureyri Swimming Pool
Suðureyri Swimming Pool, known locally as Suðureyrarlaug, is the outdoor pool in the small fishing village of Suðureyri on Súgandafjörður in the Westfjords. It is the only outdoor pool in the Ísafjarðarbær municipality, which makes it the drive to take from Ísafjörður if you want to swim under open sky. The pool itself is 17 meters long, with two hot tubs and a wading pool for children beside it. An outdoor sauna is the extra that sets it apart from most village pools. The building also holds a gym and a sports hall linked to the school, and the changing rooms are shared, with no private cubicles. From Ísafjörður, Suðureyri is about 20 minutes away on Route 60 through the Vestfjarðagöng tunnel, where you turn onto the Route 65 branch toward the village. Once there, an hour is enough for a swim, a soak and a round in the sauna. A late afternoon visit fits well after a day exploring the fjords. In summer, from June 2, the pool opens 11:00 to 20:00 every day. Winter hours start on August 23: Monday 17:00 to 20:00, Tuesday and Thursday 16:00 to 19:00, Wednesday 13:00 to 19:00 and weekends 11:00 to 17:00, with the pool closed on Fridays. Hours can change at short notice, so check the current schedule before you drive over. Under Ísafjarðarbær's fees valid from August 1, 2026, a single entry costs 1,420 ISK. Children under 18 swim free, and seniors aged 67 and over and disabled visitors get 50% off. Towels and swimsuits rent for 1,140 ISK each, and as everywhere in Iceland you shower without your swimsuit before getting in.
Swimming PoolsSælingsdalslaug
Sælingsdalslaug is a geothermal swimming pool at Laugar in Sælingsdalur, in the Dalir district of West Iceland, about 20 minutes' drive north of Búðardalur. The pool stands on the farm where Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir of Laxdæla saga lived, and its hot water still comes from the ground that gave Laugar its name, which means warm baths. The site is about 1 kilometer off Route 60 and roughly 2.5 hours by car from Reykjavík. That puts it on the main road between the Ring Road and the Westfjords, so it makes a good place to wash off a long day of driving. Sælingsdalslaug is run with Dalahótel, the hotel on the same site, and the water is heated from a borehole on the hotel grounds. Expect an outdoor pool, a wading pool for small children, hot tubs and a steam bath. A short walk away, the small reconstructed hot pool Guðrúnarlaug looks across the valley, and the two together are worth about an hour. Opening hours and admission prices aren't published, and they can change with the season. Call Dalahótel before you make a special trip, especially outside summer. As at every Icelandic pool, you shower without a swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsSólgarðar í Fljótum
Sólgarðar í Fljótum is a small country swimming pool in Fljót, the snowy farming valley on the western side of Tröllaskagi in North Iceland. It sits beside Sóti Lodge off Route 76, roughly halfway between Siglufjörður and Hofsós, with the mountains of Fljót rising on every side. The setup is modest: a small outdoor pool and a hot tub, with a steam bath on the price list too. Skagafjörður municipality owns the pool but leases out its operation, and the quiet, rural feel is the main reason to stop. Because a leaseholder runs the Sólgarðar pool, there is no fixed published timetable. Opening times change from season to season, so call 467 1033 before you drive out. The Skagafjörður pool tariff lists a single adult ticket at 1,400 ISK, while visiting children aged 7 to 18, seniors and disabled visitors pay 425 ISK and children under 7 swim free. The leaseholder may charge differently, so confirm the price on arrival. Siglufjörður and Hofsós are each about 30 km away by road, which makes a swim here an easy break on a loop around Tröllaskagi. Fljót is known for heavy snow, so check the official road-conditions map before driving Route 76 in winter. As at every Icelandic pool, shower without a swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsVarmahlíð Swimming Pool
Varmahlíð Swimming Pool is the municipal outdoor pool in Varmahlíð, a small village in Skagafjörður, North Iceland, a few hundred meters off the Ring Road beside the village school. That location makes it the easiest swim break on the long drive between Akureyri and Reykjavík. Varmahlíð means "warm slope," after the geothermal ground the village is built on. The outdoor pool is split in two: a 25-by-12.5-meter main section for laps and a warmer 12.5-by-8-meter children's pool with its own small slide. Families come for the 47-meter waterslide, 7 meters high, added in November 2018, and a hot tub beside the pools looks after everyone else. From Akureyri, Varmahlíð is about 95 km west, or roughly 1 hour 15 minutes by car, and Reykjavík is about 4 hours south. An hour covers a swim and a soak before you get back on the road. Glaumbær turf farm is about 7 km up Route 75, and Varmahlíð camping is a short walk away if you want to stay the night. Summer hours, from June 1 to August 23, are 12:00–21:00 on weekdays and 10:00–18:00 on weekends, so the pool stays shut on summer weekday mornings and the swim is best planned for the afternoon. From August 24 to May 30 it opens 08:00–21:00 on weekdays and 10:00–16:00 on weekends. Hours can change on public holidays. Adult entry is 1,400 ISK in 2026. Children aged 7 to 18, seniors and disabled visitors pay around 425 ISK, and younger children swim free. Swimsuits and towels can be rented for about 850 ISK each, and as at every Icelandic pool, you shower without a swimsuit before getting in.
Swimming PoolsVatnaveröld
Vatnaveröld is the covered water-play park inside Sundmiðstöðin, the main swimming center of Reykjanesbær, on Sunnubraut in Keflavík. The name means "Water World," and with Keflavík Airport about 10 minutes away by car, it is the handiest water park near Keflavík Airport for families on an arrival or departure day. Inside the hall, heated water and play equipment are set up for younger children, so the weather outside never matters. The same building has a 50-meter indoor pool for lane swimming. Outdoors there is a 25-meter pool, four hot tubs and a steam bath, which is where most adults end up. As the main Keflavík swimming pool, the center keeps long hours: 06:30–21:30 on weekdays and 09:00–18:00 on weekends, with 10 minutes after closing to leave the building. Holiday hours differ, so call ahead on 420 1500 before a public holiday. As at every pool in Iceland, children under 10 must come with a swimmer aged 15 or older. Entry is the standard municipal pool fee, a small fraction of what the Blue Lagoon charges, so a warm soak after a long flight costs very little here. Plan on one to two hours. Before you get in, shower without a swimsuit, the house rule at every Icelandic pool.

Vesturbæjarlaug is a public swimming pool on Hofsvallagata in Vesturbær, the residential west end of Reykjavík, about a 20-minute walk west of the city center. It opened in 1961, and for people in the old west end the daily swim still means this pool, with the hot tubs doubling as the place neighbors trade the day's news. The Vesturbæjarlaug swimming pool has a 25-meter pool, five hot tubs plus a larger double tub, a cold tub and a steam bath. In 2025 it added two saunas and an infrared sauna, with sauna access for disabled visitors. Kids get a children's pool, a wading pool and a small water slide. Close to the University of Iceland and the National Museum, the pool is open all year, weekdays 06:30–22:00 and weekends 09:00–22:00, and an hour or two is enough. Early mornings belong to regulars doing laps. A dark winter evening in the Vesturbæjarlaug hot tubs, ideally with light snow falling, is about as local as a Reykjavík visit gets. From late August to June, parts of the pool can be reserved for school swimming and club training, so lap swimmers may prefer early or late hours. The steam bath closes every Friday from 13:00 to 15:00 for cleaning, and on weekends the saunas open at 10:00. Under the city tariff in force since May 5, 2026, adult entry is 1,500 ISK, ages 10 to 17 pay 400 ISK, and children under 10 swim free with an adult. Swimwear rents for 1,270 ISK and a towel for 860 ISK, and entry is included in the Reykjavík City Card. As at every Icelandic pool, shower without a swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsVogar Swimming Pool
Vogar Swimming Pool is a small local pool in the sports center at Hafnargata 17 in Vogar, a coastal village on the Reykjanes peninsula just off Reykjanesbraut (Route 41), the main road between Reykjavík and Keflavík Airport. For anyone whose flight lands at dawn with a room not ready until afternoon, it is a cheap place to shower, swim and soak on the way into town. The pool measures 16.66 by 8 meters, with a massage hot tub kept at 41°C, a cold tub, a wading pool for young children and a sauna. The same building has a gym and a large sports hall. In winter, school classes use the pool during the day, with club training later on, so weekday afternoons can be busy. On weekdays Vogar pool opens 06:15–21:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays 10:00–16:00, with swimmers asked to leave the water 15 minutes before closing. Under the municipality's 2026 tariff, a single adult entry (ages 18 to 66) costs 1,000 ISK, and children under 18 and anyone 67 or older swim free. Towels and swimsuits rent for 690 ISK each for adults. Vogar sits roughly halfway between Hafnarfjörður and the airport, so the pool fits an arrival or departure day, and an hour is enough. From here it is a short drive to the Blue Lagoon, the Vatnaveröld pool in Reykjanesbær and the rest of Reykjanes.
Swimming PoolsVík Swimming Pool
Vík Swimming Pool is a small outdoor village pool at the sports center on Mánabraut 3 in Vík í Mýrdal, the southernmost village on Iceland's mainland, a few minutes' walk from the Ring Road. After a windy afternoon at Reynisfjara, its hot tub is the quickest way to thaw out in the village. The main pool is 16.7 meters long and kept at 28–29°C, and a children's pool sits at a toasty 37–38°C. There is also a hot tub at 40–42°C, a cold tub and a sauna. Expect no slides or spa extras, just a simple local place to soak. Vík is about 180 km east of Reykjavík, roughly two and a half hours by car, and most south coast itineraries spend a night here. Since Reynisfjara is about 10 km away by road and Dyrhólaey a little farther, the swimming pool in Vík makes an easy end to a day on the beaches or on Sólheimajökull glacier. An hour is plenty. The municipality's latest published tariff (2025) lists adult entry at 1,500 ISK and children at 550 ISK, with towel and swimsuit rental at 1,250 ISK each, while seniors living in Iceland and disabled visitors swim free. No 2026 tariff or opening hours were posted online at the time of writing, so call the sports center on 487 1174 before making a special trip, especially on public holidays.
Swimming PoolsÁrbæjarlaug
Árbæjarlaug is a geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavík's Árbær district, at Fylkisvegur 9 on the edge of the Elliðaárdalur valley. Ask local parents where to take the kids swimming and plenty will name it, since it has slides, warm shallow water and enough hot tubs to keep the adults happy too. The layout is the draw. An indoor pool connects to the outdoor 25-meter pool, so on a windy day you can swim from one to the other without stepping onto cold tiles. Around them sit hot tubs, a whirlpool, a cold tub, a steam room and an infrared sauna, while younger swimmers get a children's pool, a wading pool and two slides. The Árbæjarlaug pool is about 9 kilometers east of downtown Reykjavík, roughly 15 minutes by car, and the Árbær Open Air Museum is just over a kilometer away. That pairing makes an easy half day with children. Plan on one to two hours in the water. It's open all year, Monday to Friday 06:30–22:00 and weekends 09:00–22:00. Weekends are the busiest time with local families, and from late August to June parts of the pool can be set aside for school swimming and training. Winter evenings, with steam rising off the hot tubs, are the best time to go. Under the Reykjavík fee schedule in force since May 5, 2026, adults pay 1,500 ISK and children aged 10 to 17 pay 400 ISK. Kids under 10 swim free with an adult. Swimwear rental is 1,270 ISK and a towel 860 ISK, and the pool has an accessible pool plus private changing rooms.
Swimming PoolsÁsgarðslaug
Ásgarðslaug is the main swimming pool in Garðabær, the town between Reykjavík and Hafnarfjörður, at the Ásgarður sports center about 15 minutes' drive from downtown Reykjavík. For a lane swim and a hot tub at local prices, it is a solid pick in the capital area, and most of the people in the water are local families, swim clubs and lap swimmers. The 25 meter pool has five lanes and is kept at 29°C. Younger children get a 65 cm deep pool at 32°C with massage jets, plus a shallow 35°C pool with a slide. After a swim, you can rotate between two massage hot tubs at 39°C and 42°C, a cold tub at 6 to 8°C and a 47°C steam bath. The changing rooms have facilities for disabled visitors, and a wheelchair lift lowers swimmers into the pool. An hour or two is plenty for a swim and a soak, and the outdoor changing rooms are handy on warm summer days. Ásgarðslaug is open all year, Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 22:00 and Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00. On Sundays it opens at 08:00 and stays open until 22:00 from June 1 to October 4, so confirm the Sunday closing time with the pool for the rest of the year. It closes on several public holidays, including Christmas Day, New Year's Day and June 17. Garðabær's current tariff sets adult single entry at 1,350 ISK, with swimsuit and towel rental at 800 ISK each. Children up to 17, people aged 67 and over and disability pensioners swim free, but only with a Garðakort card, so visiting families should expect to pay unless the desk says otherwise.
Swimming PoolsÍþróttamiðstöðin Borgarnesi
The Borgarnes swimming pool is the public pool at Íþróttamiðstöðin Borgarnesi, the town sports center at Þorsteinsgata 1 in Borgarnes, West Iceland, about an hour north of Reykjavík on the Ring Road. Its outdoor pool looks out over Borgarfjörður, and on a clear day you can see the mountains across the fjord while you float. Plenty of drivers stop in Borgarnes only for gas and a hot dog, and a swim is a far better use of the break. The Borgarnes outdoor swimming pool is 25 meters long, with hot tubs, a children's pool and waterslides beside it. For windy days there's a smaller indoor pool, plus a sauna and a gym in the same building. Hours are generous for a small town. The municipality lists 06:30 to 22:00 on weekdays and 09:00 to 18:00 on weekends and public holidays, so a late swim works well if you're driving north or heading to Snæfellsnes in the evening. Plan on an hour, or a bit more with children. For 2026, adults and seniors pay 1,600 ISK, young people aged 10 to 17 pay 400 ISK, and children under 10 swim free. If you forgot your gear, a swimsuit or towel rents for 1,100 ISK, or 2,500 ISK for a towel, swimsuit and entry together. As at every pool in Iceland, you shower without a swimsuit before getting in. The town campsite is a short drive away if you want to stay the night. On a rainy afternoon, pair the pool with the Settlement Center museum in the old part of town, which tells the story of Egill Skallagrímsson and the first settlers of the area.
Swimming PoolsÍþróttamiðstöðin í Búðardal
Íþróttamiðstöðin í Búðardal is the Búðardalur swimming pool and sports center, in the middle of the village of Búðardalur in the Dalir district of West Iceland. It opened on February 28, 2026, close to the school and a short walk from the shop and campsite, which ended the village's long wait for a proper pool. Its 25-meter outdoor pool looks out over Hvammsfjörður. Beside the pool are hot tubs, a wading pool for small children, a sauna and a cold tub. Inside, the building has a gym and a large multi-purpose sports hall. For travelers the outdoor area is the draw, and an hour is plenty unless you plan to linger in the hot pot. Búðardalur is about two hours' drive from Reykjavík on Route 60, the road most people take toward the Westfjords. It also makes a good break between Snæfellsnes and the north, since Stykkishólmur is roughly an hour away. In summer (June 1 to August 31), the pool opens 07:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 18:00 on weekends and public holidays. Weekday hours stay the same in winter, while weekends shorten to 10:00 to 16:00. Entry to the pool stops 30 minutes before closing, and the center is closed on major public holidays. The 2026 price is 1,400 ISK for adults, 400 ISK for ages 10 to 18 and 700 ISK for those 67 and over, while younger children swim free. After a night of camping, a hot shower on its own costs 800 ISK. Towels rent for 850 ISK and swimsuits for 1,250 ISK.

Íþróttamiðstöðin í Reykholti is the sports center and Reykholt swimming pool in the greenhouse village of Reykholt in Biskupstungur, South Iceland. The pool is closed while the municipality of Bláskógabyggð renews the whole pool area, and as of October 2026 no reopening date has been announced. The gym is closed too, though the sports hall stays open. Reykholt is about an hour and 20 minutes' drive from Reykjavík and a short hop from Geysir, so many Golden Circle days pass right by it. The sports center is a few hundred meters from the Friðheimar tomato greenhouse, and once the geothermal pool reopens it will be an easy add-on to lunch there. Until then, you have good options nearby. The Flúðir swimming pool and the Secret Lagoon are both about 10 minutes south by car, and Laugarvatn, roughly 25 minutes west, has a public pool alongside the Fontana baths. Hours and prices for the renewed pool have not been published. For the latest status, check with the municipality of Bláskógabyggð or call the sports center on 480 3040 before you build a day around it.
Swimming PoolsÓlafsfjörður Swimming Pool
Ólafsfjörður Swimming Pool (Sundlaug Ólafsfjarðar) is the outdoor pool of Ólafsfjörður, a fishing town at the northern tip of the Tröllaskagi peninsula in North Iceland, with the mountains around the fjord rising right behind it. Its 52.5-meter Black Hole slide is what gets kids out of the car, and the hot tubs are what keep their parents there. The main pool is outdoors and measures 8 by 25 meters. Beside it, a smaller 3.5-meter snake slide and a children's pool keep younger swimmers busy. Two hot tubs are kept at about 38°C and 40°C, with massage jets in the cooler one, and there is also a cold tub and a sauna. Adults pay 1,090 ISK per visit in 2026, while children, seniors aged 67 and over, and disabled visitors pay 520 ISK. Swimsuits and towels can be rented for 1,090 ISK each. Ticket sales stop 15 minutes before closing. Weekday opening starts early, but winter weekend hours are short, and public swimming can pause on weekdays during school lessons. Check the day's schedule with the sports center before you plan around it, especially outside summer. The pool sits at Tjarnarstígur 1, next to the town campsite. Ólafsfjörður is about an hour's drive north of Akureyri via Dalvík and the Múli tunnel, and about 20 minutes from Siglufjörður through the Héðinsfjörður tunnels, so a swim fits easily into a day on Tröllaskagi. Plan on an hour or so, and remember to shower without a swimsuit before you get in.
Swimming PoolsÓlafsvík Swimming Pool
Ólafsvík Swimming Pool (Sundlaug Snæfellsbæjar) is the municipal pool in Ólafsvík, on the north coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland, and its 25-meter pool is indoors. When the wind blows sideways across the peninsula, you can still swim laps whatever the weather is doing outside. Inside, there is also a hot tub, a cold tub, a sauna and an infrared sauna. Outdoors you'll find more hot tubs and a cold tub, plus a large waterslide and a wading pool with a small slide for young children. On some winter weekdays the indoor pool closes to the public for school swimming lessons, but the outdoor hot tubs and wading pool stay open. The pool is open all year, from 07:30 to 21:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 17:00 on weekends. In 2026, adults pay 1,400 ISK, children aged 10 to 17 pay 500 ISK, seniors and disabled visitors pay 700 ISK, and children aged 9 and under swim free. Children under 10 must come with a swimmer aged 15 or older who stays with them in the pool and tubs. Forgot your swimsuit? Swimsuits and towels can be rented for 1,500 ISK each, and you get 1,000 ISK back when you return them. A 10-visit adult card costs 7,000 ISK, and discount cards also work at Lýsulaugar on the south side of the peninsula. Ólafsvík is about 2.5 hours' drive from Reykjavík, and the edge of Snæfellsjökull National Park is roughly 15 minutes west. That makes the pool an easy stop after Saxhóll crater or Djúpalónssandur beach. Plan on an hour, and shower without a swimsuit before you get in, as at every Icelandic pool.
Swimming PoolsÞelamerkurlaug
Þelamerkurlaug is the outdoor swimming pool at Þelamörk in Hörgársveit, North Iceland, beside the Ring Road about 15 minutes' drive northwest of Akureyri. It is now also called Jónasarlaug, after the poet Jónas Hallgrímsson, who was born in Öxnadalur a short drive up the valley. The water at Þelamerkurlaug is kept warmer than at most lap pools in the country, with the main pool at 33–35°C all year, so even a cold evening swim feels easy. Two hot tubs run at 38–40°C and 40–42°C, and there is a steam bath at around 44–46°C plus a waterslide with its own landing pool. In summer a shallow wading pool opens for small children. Of the swimming pools near Akureyri, this is the one on the road west toward Öxnadalur and the pass to Skagafjörður. That makes it a handy first or last stop when you arrive in or leave the Akureyri area from the west, and the Lónsá campsite and Akureyri's own two pools are close by. From June 6 to August 23 the pool opens at 11:00 every day. Winter hours (August 24 to June 5) are shorter, with weekday afternoon opening, 11:00 starts on weekends and no swimming at all on Fridays, so check the municipality's schedule before a late-week visit. The 2026 tariff lists adult entry (16 and over) at 1,300 ISK, school-age children at 320 ISK and pensioners at 490 ISK, with swimsuit and towel rental at 990 ISK each.
Swimming PoolsÞingeyri Swimming Pool
Þingeyri Swimming Pool, known locally as Þingeyrarlaug, is the public pool in the village of Þingeyri on the south shore of Dýrafjörður in the Westfjords. Its 16.67-meter pool is indoors, so it stays usable when the Westfjords wind and rain set in. Built in 1995, it is the newest of the pools run by the municipality of Ísafjarðarbær, and it shares a building with the village sports hall, a gym and a steam bath. Alongside the indoor hot tub there is an outdoor tub, where you can soak with a view across the fjord to the mountains on the far side. Since the Dýrafjörður tunnel opened in 2020, Þingeyri has sat on the main road between Ísafjörður, about 45 minutes to the northeast, and the southern Westfjords. Dynjandi waterfall is roughly 45 minutes south through the tunnel, so a swim here fits neatly before or after the falls. An hour covers a few lengths and a long soak. From June 2 the pool opens 08:00–21:00 on weekdays and 10:00–18:00 on weekends and public holidays. Winter hours from September 1 are much shorter: 08:00–10:00 and 17:00–21:00 Monday to Thursday, 08:00–10:00 on Fridays and 10:00–16:00 on weekends. Single tickets and swim cards are sold through Ísafjarðarbær, which publishes current prices in its municipal price list.
