Swimming in Jerusalem

The enthusiast can swim year-round at several hotel pools, including those at the Dan Jerusalem, the Ramada Jerusalem, and Ramat Rachel. There are also public pools. Check opening hours, as some pools provide specific hours for mixed or single-sex swimming.

The Jerusalem Pool has a public Olympic-sized pool that is covered in winter. It gets very crowded in July and August, and the locker rooms are cramped, but it's one of the most reasonable places around, with admission at NIS 45 for the day. 43 Emek Refa'im St., German Colony, Jerusalem, 93141. 02/563-2092.
