Sundlaug Kópavogs | Kopavogur Swimming Pool

Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Reviews

Most lanes roped, no slow/medium/fast signage. About three people per lane - the pace isn't fast. Comfortable temperature for training. There are blocks that can be used without a coach in attendance. People crossing get right of way. Sunday mornings one third of the pool is used for squad training. The pool consists of thermal water and the sulphur may take some getting used to.
This is one of the larger pools in Iceland. For lap swimmers, it's best to avoid times between 4 and 8 PM, Monday through Friday, as the indoor and outdoor pools are both dominated by swim clubs and/or water exercise groups. There are two lanes signed for fast and slow swimmers, but the signs are generally ignored. Circle swimming etiquette is universally followed, but locals seldom, if ever, group according to speed, so be prepared to shift lanes often to maintain a normal or fast pace without interruption. While the outdoor 50 m pool has 10 lanes, only 8 lanes are roped off; the indoor 25 m pool has all 6 lanes roped.

There are many hot pools for relaxing afterwards and nice view of the surrounding mountains.
