1) Dalian Swimming Pool

Dalian Swimming Pool is a fresh water swimming complex that has been used for city-wide swimming competitions, and the facilities here are arguably the best and most professional in all of Dalian. The water is clean and the temperature is maintained at between 26 and 28 degrees in the two pools; one is 50 meters long and 2 meters deep, and the other is 25 meters long and 1.6 meters deep.

There are free shower and sauna facilities, but it is best to bring your own slippers, as the center charges 30 RMB for them otherwise. Make sure you bring your own swimming costumes too as the ones sold at the pool are not of high quality and quite pricy.

If you prefer to go when it is quieter, go between Monday and Friday, as in the weekend this pool naturally attracts large groups of playing children.
