Ateneo Grade School Swimming Pool


- Don't forget to bring an ID so you can enter the campus.
- Fee: P40. Open to the public on weekends only, 9-11:30am, 1:30-4pm and 4-6:30pm
- 25m x 15 m, 3.5ft to 5ft. Unshaded. Separate communal showers for boys and girls. Cubicles for changing. Toilets have bidets. No lockers.
- Pull buoys, kick boards, goggles and other equipment are available for rent at P20 each.
- The pool is generally clean, except for fallen leaves from the mango three which stands on one side of the pool.
- Lifeguards on duty also offer swimming lessons.
- [Geez, I hope this doesn't sound racist.] Sometimes you may have to share the pool with Korean kids who would play around the pool. I tried switching lanes and make it appear that they're getting in the way, but they very rarely get the message. I might ask someone how to say "Please stay in one lane" politely in Korean.

Commuting details after the jump.
