Swimming pool guests in Reykjavík get a chance to win free swimming pool tickets by collecting stamps which are received at each pool´s visit. Once you´ve collected enough stamps, they should be handed in at the front desk of one of the Reykjavík thermal pools to participate in the lottery. The names of the winners will be announced here at swimminginiceland.com in the first week of October.

Last April, the costs of renovating some of the biggest swimming pools in Reykjavik city was estimated at 275 million krónur. More than half of the budget should be spent on Laugardalslaug thermal pool. Among other things, walking paths should be made, a new hot tub and dressing rooms renewed. Also a steambath should be built at Grafarvogslaug, a new hot tub should be installed at Árbæjarlaug and discussed was building a new gym at Breiðholtslaug thermal pool.

On Friday 2 September the budget was adjusted and estimated costs are now reaching 320 million krónur.
