I'm living in Gulou area and could do with a good swimming pool. I keep being taken to public ones and there just isn't the room to do laps with the amount of people. Granted I was going during the summer when there are bound to be more people (I just got back to Beijing). Anyone know of any not too far away that are affordable and actually allow for serious swimming. Thanks.
Chaoyang Park South Gate (about 150m east of it) has a good pool (50m) with two lanes for serious swimmers. Not everyone in those two lanes always is serious, but in general it is quite good. Buying 30 tickets at a time gets the price down quite a bit, so I would recommend that. Also, try to swim during meal times - it is really empty then
