So.. where are the best places to go swimming in Seoul?

[discostar23]

all the pools by the han river tend to be crowded and u have to wear a bathing cap. cost 4,000won

hamiliton pool is cool but its hard to get a place to lay/sit unless u are there first thing in the morning. they have a dj after two oclock and food/bar. they don't let u bring in your own food. and u don't have to wear a bathing cap. cost 12,000won on weekends.

those are the public pools as far as I know.

There are 3 (three) Olympic sized heated swimming pools

1 is for strict swimming, 1 is for practicing and diving, and the other is for amateurs/play...

cost for membership is - 20,000won (for membership and first month) - then 5,000won each month thereafter.....

that 5,000won each month - gives you unlimited use of the three pools...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any ponds, lakes, rivers etc that are good for swimming. Looking for a place 1-2 hours max outside of Seoul. The less crowded the better, of course, but really just anywhere clean would be great.

Thanks!

Any ideas? Fresh water swimming within 2 hours of Seoul?
