Hey everybody. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good swimming pools in Warsaw? Not kiddy pools, but ones where you can swim laps. I was going to one on Merliniego st. in Mokotow, for a while, but it was ridiculously expensive (18pln per hour). It was also crowded and kind of nasty (I'll spare you folks the details).

I have not yet found a swimming pool in Poland which regulates the number of people who can enter. They build them and then cram as many naked clammy bodies in there as they can while charging a premium.

Have you tried the one about 6 tram stops towards the center from metro Wilanowska? They also have a shooting range and you can rent hand guns and other fun things like that!

Crowded with what kind of nastiness?

On "the street - merliniego"? Gee Stuart, I wonder if he has tried it or not.....

To tracer: don't worry, I think we know what kind of nastiness. And BTW, in 11 years in Warsaw I have never found a halfway decent pool for swimming laps. Sorry.

Sorry Almighty Harry! I didn't read it fully! No need to harp on a man for something simple!

11 years in Poland and your mannerisms are just like a Polish person's!!

Wait for the summer and go to Hel or one of the lake districts...otherwise you'll have to wear a ridiculous hat even if you're a skinhead like me.

and wo betide the man who sneaks past the old bag of a hat checker and jumps in the pool without one.

People in Poznan always talk about a pool in Leszno for some reason...loads of modern pools in Poz but as you said, busy, busy, busy.
