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.

A. Take any bus along EDSA to SM Fairview and get off at Philcoa. Take a UP Campus-bound jeep in front of McDonald's and get off. Tell the the driver that you want to take the Katipunan jeep. Along Katipunan, there's a blue overpass that is difficult to miss. Get off at the overpass next to that. Take the overpass and enter the Ateneo campus.
