Detailed information about Laugardalslaug Pool
Swimming and bathing is believed to have been frequented for hundreds of years in Laugardalur Valley. A bathing pool is reported to the south of Laugarnes in 1772. Swimming lessons began in 1824, albeit exclusively for boys. In 1907-1908, the Reykjavík town council commissioned a pool basin made from stone, and it is probably the first sports facility built by the town. Since then swimming has been practiced in Laugardalur Valley.
