About this spot

During summer break, the elementary school's pool is opened to the public, letting you use the 25-meter pool and smaller pool free of charge. Being a school pool, the facilities are simple, but it's a safe environment with a lifeguard on duty, and a place where local children naturally gather. It has the relaxed atmosphere typical of an island school, and it's rarely crowded, which is another appealing point. For travelers, it's a precious chance to quietly blend into the everyday life of the island.
