Best place to go swimming around Phnom Penh

Post by SEAdude »

I used to use the Olympic Stadium swimming pool but that closed almost 1.5 years ago. Does anyone know of cheap places to take a dip in a pool to survive the heat?!

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps SEAdude could rent a pool for himself like this British expat just did in Singapore - just a lazy $10 000 a month for his private comfort and exercise. He could have also rented the condo it was attached to for $30 000 p/mth, but felt that was perhaps a little too costly.

That's tough. Pools are open everywhere else AFAIK (ie. Siem Reap, Kampot, SHV ). Are the PP pools also closed to hotel residents or just outsiders ?

Olympic Stadium pool renovation was completed in April, so it might be worth of going to check it out if it is open again (or after the covid will be)?

DIB club closed about 2 months ago due to Coronavirus.
