Location
This pool is a reasonable 25-minute walk from the center of Siena leaving the city walls via the Porta Camollia. The pool is enclosed in a series of geodesic domes (!) and looks a bit like a turtle as you walk up to it.

Facility Reviews
Lap swimming here is a little odd. They congregate at the shallow end wall. . . every once in a while someone takes off for a lap or two. . . they don't like to move, so stop a few yards ahead of the wall to turn around.
The lanes are narrow.
Unusually for Italy, the shower and hair dryer controller machine accepts coins as well as purchased RFID driven cards.
No medical certificate required. [May, 2015]

Beware of limited summer hours, when the outdoor pool at Piscina Acquacalda is open. I found that out the hard way, as the schedule on the website turned out not to be correct and they did not answer their phone. [September, 2016]
