Indeed, now is the perfect time to enjoy a warm and relaxing evening swim in Hafnarfjörður, as the opening hours of the swimming pool, Suðurbæjarlaug, will be extended to 9 pm on Sunday evenings, starting this coming Sunday.
The idea is that one swimming pool in the municipality will be open longer. With longer opening hours, the call of frequent swimmers is answered. The change is here to stay throughout the year!
There are three swimming pools in Hafnarfjörður, in addition to Suðurbæjarlaug, Ásvallalaug and Hafnarfjörður´s Swimming Pool (Sundhöll Hafnarfjarðar). Each has its own charm and advantage.
Ásvallalaug is open from 8 am to 5 pm on Sundays, but Sundhöllin is closed on weekends. Suðurbæjarlaug, on the other hand, is waiting for you and will from now on be open from 8 am to 9 pm on Sundays.
