Shimofukujima Pool | 下福島プール

When I visited this pool in March, 2013, the staff was very kind and briefed me on the rules of the pool and on the various facilities. Three lanes were reserved for lap swimming, the other were dedicated for water walking and swim lessons.The water was very hot for a workout, so I went to relax in the even hotter Jacuzzi. When I went back into the main pool, it felt it cooler, which helped me to complete the workout.

This is a nice pool with an easy going family atmosphere; I will return there when I come back to Osaka. During my visit, the pool wasn’t crowded (two or three people per lane), so swimming at a good pace was possible.There is a mandatory 10-minute break every hour, during which you are invited to do some relaxation movements. There are also two Jacuzzis®, an outdoor, seasonal pool, and some sort of sauna (50°, 80% humidity).
