    All of the pools that I have seen in Dumaguete have been small. I was wondering if there were any public pools big enough to swim laps in?

    Thanks

    Aqua center behind the Capitol is the only public one I think, more than large enough to accomodate laps, check times of availability, as many youth activities and schools use it.

    By public, I meant anyone can use it. I have seen several pools at restaruants or hotels that you can pay to use, but they were so small.

    Thanks for the info on Aqua Center.

    I don't know.
    The entrance fee is 20 pesos or 200 pesos monthly. Operating time from 6 am to 6pm with a standard lunch brake from 12 to 1 pm.
    It is a standard olympic 50 meters 8 lines 5-8 ft deep. pool and there is a separate deeper pool for water jumping. They even have a jakuzi but currently there is no water. Google map link: Google Maps

    Another day, another answer. Was at the Aqua Ctr on Thursday, 1/26, and asked again what the hours are, and this is what I was told:

    Monday: 6:30-12:00
    1:00- 5:00

    Tues-Fri: 6:30-1:00
    1:00-6:00

    Sat 8:00-12:00
    1:00- 5:00

    I asked again about a monthly fee, and was told that was ONLY for the gym.
