Facility Notes
This facility shares its web page with two others (this is the first listed on the page); it also has a link to the pool's Facebook page.
Our May, 2019, reviewer and the pool's official website both indicate that the pool was to be converted to an indoor facility, but we've seen no evidence that the work has been completed.
Facility Reviews
Sundlaug Sauðárkróks is warm and outdoors, like most pools in Iceland. The facilities are clean and the pool was open in the evening. At the end of a day's travel, just the place to find!
This 4-lane pool has friendly staff. The nice woman at the front desk offered to keep my hotel key and the cash in my wallet while I swam. I let her, but when I walked into the locker room, after removing my shoes and socks, there were tiny lockers with removable keys for valuables.
Iceland has higher expectations than France for how clean you will be when you enter the pool. Wall mounted diagrams illustrate sudsing your head, hands, face, crotch, and feet. The pool has very clean water, a particolored bottom, and a lot of black material I assume to be volcanic grit, probably hard to avoid in this volcanic island. Swim caps are not required, and no standards for swimsuit styles permitted are published. There were usually no lifeguard during the 40 minutes I swam
There was a crane over the pool and it was said it will be covered later this year.
