Best pool in Beijing. Huge, not crowded, lanes very wide. Substantially warmer than all other pools, metallic taste.

Facility Notes
A medical check is required to use the pool and a deep swim card is required for the 50m pool. The onsite medical check is cursory and costs RMB 10. To get the swim card (including photo) is another RMB 20; if you bring your own 20mm x 30mm photo, it may speed things up. The swim test for the card, valid throughout Beijing, is a nonstop swim of between 100m and 400m, depending on who's giving it. The formalities can be completed quickly enough to allow a swim during the same visit. [Costs as of September, 2013]

A big pool… well used… LOTS of breaststrokers, not always aware of the concept of circle swimming. Worth a visit if only for the cultural experience.

Dank, dark, very old. Not the new Olympic one. The main pool is nice - no backstroke flags or time clocks, but huge and devoted to laps. Be prepared for crowded conditions unless you go in the morning or late night.
