The Story of the South Bay Pool

The South Bay Pool has been very popular since its opening, but it was formally inaugurated on 28 October 1989. The pool was designed by architect Sigurþór Aðalsteinsson.

A large number of regulars of all ages enjoy the facility all year round, as it was originally designed with meticulous care and foresight. A large garden with many evergreen trees also surrounds the swimming pool area, providing shelter throughout the year.
