Swimming pools for swimming in Vienna ? Hello,
i'm thinking about taking up swimming more seriously- there are a lot of swimming pools in Vienna but most of them have negative reviews. Mostly ppl are annoyed that due to overcrowds and children it's impossible to swim. Can anyone recommend good swimming pool where it's possible to train swimming ? Preferably some 50m swimming pool. Thanks in advance for help

I have been to Jörgerbad, Theresienbad (pool is 33 m though I think, better than the usual short pools) and Birgittenauerbad. I found that they all suck for swimming at public opening hours. I tried looking here http://www.schwimmbadcheck.at/schwimmbaeder/wien.html but it seems the only 50 m pools are outdoors. Best bet is to join some swimming clube if you hate the non swimmer crowded lanes... I did two courses for: http://www.owr.at/ to get some better swimming...
