It is a 25 meters long outdoor pool. The swimming pool is protected and is one of the oldest pools in Iceland. The pool was first made with stones in the year 1923 and then made from concrete the year after. In the year 1927, they started teaching swimming in the pool for kids as a mandatory thing to learn in school. The pool is not the cleanest and is only cleaned once a year in the summer. The pool is popular bathing area and very beautiful place to visit, even though you don’t want to go in. It‘s amazing contrast seeing a pool in the middle of nowhere. After the eruption of 2010 the pool had to be digged out due to ash, a lot of people volunteered to help.
