You simply must trust our advice because a visit to one of the geothermal pools in Iceland is an activity you won’t want to miss. Especially when you are visiting Húsafell area and our newly renovated Swimming pool, Lindin.
Icelanders Love Swimming All Year Around
Icelanders simply love bathing in their geothermal heated swimming pools. This cultural heritage dates back centuries and has evolved into a modern obsession with pools and hot baths. They absolutely love the clean water, and it has been part of Icelandic culture throughout the centuries. Whether it be in pools or in hot springs, it is said that most Icelanders go swimming at least once per week all year around. These pools are heated naturally by the earth’s geothermal energy, making them comfortable even during the coldest months in Iceland.
Swimming is part of Icelandic tradition and therefore we like to say that in Iceland we have a unique Swimming pool culture. This culture is a significant part of the country’s lifestyle and social fabric and is deeply ingrained in the lifestyle and well-being of Icelandic people.
People of all ages, from children to the elderly, gather at the pools to socialize, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. It is also well known in Iceland that during your time in the pool you will most likely have an interesting small talk with other people and it’s like the pure Icelandic water erases the superficial between people. Which we consider to be super positive and an advantage for you as a tourist in Iceland.
No matter where you are traveling in Iceland, there will be a swimming pool nearby. Swimming pools are widely accessible across the country and even in remote areas, you’re likely to find a local swimming pool.
And going swimming is both refreshing and relaxing, and if you really want to get to know the locals and get the best off the Icelandic language, there is no better way for you than to visit a local swimming pool and soak in the hot tub.
